Philadelphia judges and a minority of overburdened lawyers are blamed for slow civil procedures in Philadelphia and six counties. A year long survey by University of Pennsylvania Law School professors found judges averaged 3 hours 56 minutes on jury trials and 2 hours 25 minutes on nonjury trials, with 579 cases unfinished after three years. The Institute of Legal Research urged stricter controls on busy lawyers and steps to move citizen suits under $500 to trial, while noting 11 firms handle 46 percent of trial work.
