Book excerpt: The Civil Justice Reform Act of 1990 (CJRA) required that each federal district court 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. After the main evaluation report was completed, the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules of the Judicial Conference of the United States asked RAND to conduct further analyses of the CJRA evaluation data to see if additional light could be shed on discovery 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.

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.
