April and May 2013 District Court of Maryland statistics are in and have been updated on the sidebar.

As you can see, 2011-2013 have all been relatively even… so I threw in 2005 as a reminder (2006 was actually even worse).

May 2013 marks the lowest number of May cases filed for Baltimore City in recent memory (at least since 2005). From 7,774 cases filed in May of 2006, there has been a decline (of varying degrees) every year.

The rest of the state, however, has had a slightly different experience.
