Abstract
Canadian courts have been struggling with delay and backlog for decades. Unnecessary and excessive delay in courts is an ethical issue which results in suffering by litigants and witnesses and dilutes the quality of justice. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the situation became dire. Now that the pandemic has been declared over, we have an opportunity to take note of where things stand. This article looks at the current state through an analysis of the Ontario Court of Justice, and the decision in R. v C.L. As will become apparent, judges are doing all they can under the circumstances and any solution to the current conditions requires a renewed discussion of alternative models of court administration and judicial independence. The paper concludes with the suggestion that it is time to take a fresh look at the recommendations found in Masters in their own house and Administering Justice For the Public.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
