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.
