Book Description
After the passage of the Civil Justice Reform Act of 1990 (CJRA), and the judiciaryÕs implementation of the requirements of that Act, the Judicial Conference stated that Ò[t]he federal judiciary is committed to, and believes in, sound case management to reduce unnecessary cost and delay in civil litigation, and thus ensure the Ôjust, speedy, and inexpensiveÕ determination of civil actions called for in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.Ó It has been shown that managed cases will settle earlier and more efficiently, and will provide a greater sense of justice to all participants. Even in the absence of settlement, the result will be a more focused trial, increased jury comprehension, and a more efficient and efficacious use of our scarcest institutional resource, judge time.

Book Description
Elements of Case Management is primarily for the use of federal trial judges, legal teams, and American citizens. It provides insights in how a federal trial judge handles his or her cases. Each federal judge must abide by Rule 1 of the Federal Rules of the Civil Procedure that is "to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action." This manual briefly describes techniques that judges have found effective in managing their cases at various stages of the litigation process. It begins with a discussion of the Rule 16 conference, outlining how proper use of this conference enables judges to establish control of cases at the outset. It then provides separate discussions of several items on the Rule 16 agenda covering settlement, discovery, and motions--that continue to play an important role in case management and decision-making. As part of case management, the manual also touches on the pretrial conference, and then the trial itself to propose a foundation for thinking about techniques and methods that will best suit the individual judge.

Book Description
For well-experienced lawyers, the Federal Civil Procedure Manual provides a comprehensive treatment of procedural law in federal courts that an attorney can rely on for quick answers to discrete issues. For new attorneys, the Manual provides a complete blueprint for commencing and working through a case in court. The copious and very recent case-law updating provides authoritative sources that go into great detail about the designated issues. The authors have nearly 50 years' experience in developing, crafting, and approving amendments to the Civil Rules. They were intimately involved with the amendment process for virtually all the Civil Rules. Their combined experience brings unmatched insights into the Civil Rules. The Federal Civil Procedure Manual addresses not only procedural law but it also contains extensive discussion of jurisdictional matters. The chapters on arbitration, as an alternative dispute procedure, are typically not addressed in a procedural book.
