Annual Maine case filings
FY24 statewide workload across major categories. Courts are carrying volume that demands better operating structure, not more patchwork.
Public pressure layer
Maine’s courts are not failing. They are underbuilt for the workload they carry.
Statewide backlog, staffing gaps, and fragmented case posture are public problems. This front door keeps those facts visible while showing what a working operations layer would change.
Public metric

Family filings
Cases affecting children, custody, divorce, protection, and post-judgment disputes. Delay here compounds harm fastest.
Public metric

Clerk positions needed
The workload study already documents a statewide administrative gap. Staff are compensating for system design.
Public metric

Judicial officers needed
Bench capacity is short before another year of backlog growth is added. Better hearing readiness matters now.
Public metric
25–30%
Criminal caseload above pre-pandemic
Continuing pressure in criminal calendars keeps staff, judges, and scheduling stretched across the system.

Paid into antiquated systems
Maine has already spent serious money and still does not have real intake-to-hearing operational throughput.
System pressure
This is not a technology gap. It is an operational gap.
The problem is incomplete filings reaching hearings, fragmented evidence, missing chronology, repeated clerk correction, and work that still depends on people compensating for system design.
ProSe is the working alternative: a legal operations layer that organizes intake, evidence, chronology, filings, reporting, and readiness before delay becomes harm.
Case readiness before hearing
Ensure filings, evidence, and timelines are assembled before court time is used.
Backlog reduction through structure
Reduce continuances and delays caused by incomplete records and fragmented work.
Public accountability layer
Show the public exactly where delay lives and what a working alternative looks like.
