Fast-Path / Slow-Path Architecture
- customer service (tier-1 scripted handling plus escalation when confidence drops or sentiment markers fire), legal procedure (summary judgment and plea agreements for most disputes, full trial for the few that need it),
  This sourceDocuments that the overwhelming majority of cases terminate by settlement, summary judgment, or ADR rather than trial (federal civil trials fell to 1.8% of dispositions by 2002), supporting legal procedure as fast-path/slow-path.

  The abstract documents that federal civil trials fell to 1.8% of dispositions by 2002 and that cases were diverted to ADR, backing the 'full trial for the few' half only.
  
  “The portion of federal civil cases resolved by trial fell from 11.5 percent in 1962 to 1.8 percent in 2002, continuing a long historic decline.”
  From the publisher's abstract.

Verification¶

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
