In the 20 years since it began, the consolidated New York federal lawsuit brought by 9/11 victims has focused largely on allegations that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia aided and abetted the 19 hijackers who killed nearly 3,000 people in the al Qaeda attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

But in the last couple of years, as wrongful death claims have multiplied, the case’s immense docket has become an unwieldy monster – a thicket of 9,200 memorandums, briefs, replies, judgments, endorsements, transcripts, declarations, letters, notices, proposed orders, opinions and motions. That doesn’t count an accompanying river of multi-page exhibits.
