Courts Figures</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Cases Heard</p></td><td><p>Convictions</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>1,492,160</p></td><td><p>1,179,919</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>1,456,177</p></td><td><p>1,176,117</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>1,392,139</p></td><td><p>1,146,720</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
