Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can't really answer this without more information to be absolutely sure you are right. The only thing you can do is make a guess, and that's never a good idea.
However that being said, you have two choices. You can try and decide why the drop between 2000 and 2005 (civil appeals) took place. You also need to notice the drop between 2005 and 2010 (criminal appeals). You can't tell anything about legal representation. We don't have enough information unless you are given some somewhere else.
I think the right answer to this is that more criminal actions are being dropped before trial (only because there are fewer of them).
