Download or read book Implementation of the Civil Justice Reform Act in Pilot and Comparison Districts written by James S. Kakalik and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 1996 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil Justice Reform Act of 1990 (CJRA) required each federal district court to develop a case management plan to reduce costs and delay. The legislation also created a pilot program to test six principles of case management, and required an independent evaluation to assess their effects. This report is one of four documents describing the evaluation, which was conducted by RAND's Institute for Civil Justice. The report traces the stages in the CJRA implementation: the recommendations of the advisory groups, the plans adopted by the districts, and the plans actually implemented. The study found that all pilot districts complied with the statutory language of the act. But the amount of change varied widely, and in some districts, planned changes were not fully implemented. However, implementing the pilot plans may have heightened the consciousness of judges and lawyers and brought about some important implicit shifts in their approach to case management.

Book excerpt: The Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts asked RAND's Institute for Civil Justice to evaluate the implementation of the Civil Justice Reform Act in ten pilot districts. The study found that (1) the CJRA pilot program as implemented, had little effect on time to disposition, litigation costs, and attorney satisfaction and views of the fairness of case management; (2) judges' actions matter: early judicial case management sharply reduced time to disposition but is associated with significantly increased costs to litigants, but shortened time to discovery cutoff is associated with significantly decreased attorney work hours; (3) if early case management and early setting of the trial schedule are combined with shortened discovery, the increase in costs associated with the former can be offset by the decrease associated with the latter. The study also notes that since adoption of the CJRA, the total number of cases pending more than three years has dropped by about 25 percent from its pre-CJRA level.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This first comprehensive plan for the future of the federal courts responds to a growing awareness within and without the courts that the accelerating pace of social change requires public institutions to anticipate likely future challenges and opportunities. The Constitution vests the federal courts with the judicial power of the United States, power which the courts are bound to exercise justly, speedily, and economically. To meet that responsibility, the courts must first and above all preserve the rule of law. At the same time, they must respond to the changing needs of society, litigants, and the practicing bar. The federal courts intend that this first plan, along with the planning process that it has initiated, will foster those two imperatives." -- p. 1.
