Entered after decree application is a dummy that<br>takes value 1 when a case entered its assigned chamber after the application of the decree; fast judge is a dummy that takes<br>value 1 when a judge’s baseline pre-trial speed is above the median baseline pre-trial speed. All models include chamber-specifc<br>linear trends allowed to change after the decree (full interaction of chamber FEs, trend, and Entered after decree application),<br>calendar month fxed efects, amount category dummies, a collegiate pre-trial dummy, and a constant. All models estimated<br>by OLS. Standard errors in parentheses, clustered at the (chamber x hearing of entry) level. Window includes cases entering<br>between 38 and 4 hearings before and between 4 and 21 hearings after decree application. Diference in number of observations<br>compared to Table 3 due to missing baseline speed of case judge. Signifcance levels are denoted as follows: * p_<_0.10, **<br>p_<_0.05, *** p_<_0.01.|
