This is not a filler arc. The writers are hard at work working on said filler arc (the appeals court).I could leave here and there would barely be any relevant info on the vic case for at least two months. I wouldn't even call this a filler arc as much as it's the downtime or a "series".
But shits gonna be good in due time and it warms my heart to see scum break themselves in trying to destroy a person that's better than them.
Currently the only thing fans have to sate their appetite for more is the terrible fanfictions from tumblr. But some people are attempting to pass then as genuine scripts because they have no ethics.
