title: 'docketscape: Legal Network and Congestion-Aware Delay Modeling for Court Dockets'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: 'Splits court delay into two parts: (1) what a case is, represented through
  the statutory Acts and Sections invoked by the case, and (2) where it sits, represented
  by time-varying court docket load. Builds a weighted similarity graph of cases from
  legal provisions using ''igraph'' and ''Matrix'', estimates censoring-aware expected
  resolution timelines using legally similar neighbours, calculates relative lateness,
  and models delay in relation to filing-time court docket load using ''survival''.
  Designed for case-level judicial records such as the Development Data Lab (DDL)
  extract of Indian lower courts (<https://www.devdatalab.org/judicial-data>). Observational
  and non-causal; does not rank judges, evaluate judicial performance, or claim causal
  delay effects.'
