case load

Attorney's active matters

Caseload is the number of cases a professional handles at one time—typically used for social workers, lawyers, doctors, or therapists.

A heavy caseload means too many clients to serve well: The public defender's caseload made thorough preparation impossible.

Also spelled as two words: case load.
