Federal Court Caseloads by William P. McLauchlan Pdf

During the past 10 years, scholars have begun to pay attention to caseloads with which courts have had to deal. This book explores, systematically, several aspects of caseloads. First, it analyzes the patterns of caseload development, i.e. increases and decreases in court caseloads. Second, it examines the relationship between caseloads and relevant independent variables. Third, the book examines a system of courts by analyzing trial and appellate court caseloads in the federal court system. The work relies on original data for both the caseloads statistics and the independent variables.

The Federal Courts by Richard A. Posner Pdf

The federal courts are the world’s most powerful judiciary and a vital element of the American political system. In recent decades, these courts have experienced unprecedented growth in caseload and personnel. Many judges and lawyers believe that a “crisis in quantity” is imperiling the ability of the federal judiciary to perform its historic function of administering justice fairly and expeditiously. In a substantially revised edition of his widely acclaimed 1985 book The Federal Courts: Crisis and Reform, Chief Judge Richard A. Posner of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit provides a comprehensive evaluation of the federal judiciary and a detailed program of judicial reform. Drawing on economic and political theory as well as on legal analysis and his own extensive judicial experience, Posner sketches the history of the federal courts, describes the contemporary institution, appraises the concerns that have been expressed with the courts’ performance, and presents a variety of proposals for both short-term and fundamental reform. In contrast to some of the direr prophecies of observers of the federal courts, Posner emphasizes the success of these courts in adapting to steep caseload growth with minimum sacrifice in quality. Although the book ranges over a variety of traditional topics in federal jurisdiction, the focus is steady on federal judicial administration conceived of as an interdisciplinary approach emphasizing system rather than doctrine, statistics rather than impressions, and caseload rather than cases. Like the earlier edition, this book promises to be a landmark in the empirical study of judicial administration.

Statistical Overview of Civil Litigation in the Federal Courts by Terence Dungworth,Nicholas Michael Pace Pdf

This report presents a longitudinal study of filing patterns in federal district courts and of the time taken to dispose of cases in those courts. It takes as its focus private civil litigation conducted between 1971 and 1986; hence, all such cases that were terminated by the district court system during that period are included in the analysis. The study, which assesses the performance of the entire district court system and provides an in-depth examination of case processing in fast, slow, and average districts, shows that in the aggregate, private civil suits reached disposition in about the same amount of time in 1986 as in 1971, but that this measure varied considerably from district to district. A review of factors that intuitively seem likely to be associated with such time-to-disposition differences, including case mixture, processing characteristics, and resource levels, reveals that none, in fact, bears a substantial relationship to variation in disposition times. The report concludes with a consideration of further research that might shed light on the determinants of the pace of case processing.

Advice and Dissent by Sarah A. Binder,Forrest Maltzman Pdf

For better or worse, federal judges in the United States today are asked to resolve some of the nation's most important and contentious public policy issues. Although some hold onto the notion that federal judges are simply neutral arbiters of complex legal questions, the justices who serve on the Supreme Court and the judges who sit on the lower federal bench are in fact crafters of public law. In recent years, for example, the Supreme Court has bolstered the rights of immigrants, endorsed the constitutionality of school vouchers, struck down Washington D.C.'s blanket ban on handgun ownership, and most famously, determined the outcome of the 2000 presidential election. The judiciary now is an active partner in the making of public policy. Judicial selection has been contentious at numerous junctures in American history, but seldom has it seemed more acrimonious and dysfunctional than in recent years. Fewer than half of recent appellate court nominees have been confirmed, and at times over the past few years, over ten percent of the federal bench has sat vacant. Many nominations linger in the Senate for months, even years. All the while, the judiciary's caseload grows. Advice and Dissent explores the state of the nation's federal judicial selection system—a process beset by deepening partisan polarization, obstructionism, and deterioration of the practice of advice and consent. Focusing on the selection of judges for the U.S. Courts of Appeals and the U.S. District Courts, the true workhorses of the federal bench, Sarah A. Binder and Forrest Maltzman reconstruct the history and contemporary practice of advice and consent. They identify the political and institutional causes of conflict over judicial selection over the past sixty years, as well as the consequences of such battles over court appointments. Advice and Dissent offers proposals for reforming the institutions of judicial selection, advocating pragmatic reforms that seek
