Book excerpt: 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.
