submitted 36 years ago by Pub. L. 101-650 to r/title-28-JUDICIARY-AND-JUDICIAL-PROCEDURE · 84 words · no verdicts yet
Every U.S. district court must check its civil and criminal cases once a year. The court looks for ways to reduce cost and delay in civil lawsuits. It must also look for ways to manage litigation better. While doing this, the court must consult an advisory group set up under section 478.
After choosing or building a civil justice expense and delay reduction plan, each United States district court* must assess its civil and criminal caseload once a year.
The purpose of this yearly check is to find additional steps the court could take to cut the cost and delay of civil lawsuits, and to improve how the court manages litigation.
While doing this assessment, the court must consult with an advisory group that is appointed under section 478 of this title.
After developing or selecting a civil justice expense and delay reduction plan, each United States district court* shall assess annually the condition of the court’s civil and criminal dockets with a view to determining appropriate additional actions that may be taken by the court to reduce cost and delay in civil litigation and to improve the litigation management practices of the court. In performing such assessment, the court shall consult with an advisory group appointed in accordance with section 478 of this title.
