Attorney Satisfaction with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure: Report to the Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Civil Rules.

摘要

This report provides a brief comparison of the results of three surveys on the current operation of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (Rules). These surveys asked attorneys in the American College of Trial Lawyers (ACTL), the American Bar Association Section of Litigation (ABA Section), and the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA) to respond to a series of statements regarding the Rules. The Federal Judicial Center (FJC) did not administer the ACTL survey, but it did administer the ABA Section and NELA surveys. Respondents in the ACTL survey had many more years of practice, on average, than respondents in the other surveys.
