A: You should discuss this with your attorney if you want a more accurate opinion regarding the pace at which your particular judge issues decisions and how far along your case is in regard to submission of evidence; however the general standard is that the judge had a "reasonable" time period to issue a decision once all evidence is submitted and the record closed. What constitutes a reasonable time period is not defined in The Act and most judges take at least several months after the evidentiary record closes to issue a decision.
