U.S. Courts: Report on Civil Litigation: Education, Training Keys to Improvement

Report to the Chief Justice of the United States on the 2010 Conference on Civil Litigation – Submitted by the Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Civil Rules and the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure, November 2010

  • “A report to the Chief Justice says educating lawyers, clients, and judges should be part of the federal judiciary’s efforts toward cutting costs and delays in federal civil litigation. The report grew out of a gathering of judges, lawyers, and academics at the Duke University School of Law. The Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Civil Rules and the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure submitted the report to the Chief Justice. It said there is a consensus “that making changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is not sufficient to make meaningful improvements.” The report added: “Rule changes will be ineffective if they are not accompanied by judicial education, legal education, and support provided by the development of materials to facilitate implementing more efficient and effective procedures.”
