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