there is no set time for a trial to take place. Some case take as little as a day and some for months for example
U.S. v. Samuel Garfield, et al. in Manhattan's Foley Square courthouse. As jurors, they had seen 1,890 exhibits and heard 109 witnesses give 26,731 pages of testimony in the longest criminal trial ever held before a federal court jury. It lasted just 23 days less than a year.

It varies widely based on the complete situation. If a trial involves extensive witnesses, or complex interpretations of the law, it takes longer. If it involves data from many sources, it takes longer. If the particular federal court is heavily scheduled, it takes longer. If it involves anything that is being contested, it takes longer. The abilities of the attorneys make it take longer (if bad, court review, if good, more effective, but extensive, arguments).

That depends. If the trail begins in the Alleganey Mountain Range it could stretch until the Blue hills of Kentucky.
Then there are the Federal Trails at Big Bear that wind forever.

There is no rule of thumb. Each case is unique. It can take as little as one day or run for months.
