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.

To consider the problems of high litigation costs and delay that burden both plaintiffs and defendants, average citizens and large corporations, Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr., Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, suggested in August 1988 the formation of a working conference of natural competitors in the legal system. In response, the Brookings Institution and the Foundation for Change invited leading litigators from the plaintiffs' and defense bar; civil and women's rights, consumer, and environmental lawyers; representatives of the insurance industry; general counsels of major corporations; former judges; and law professors from throughout the United States to analyze these issues and develop a set of concrete recommendations for procedural reform. The 36 members of the working group, together with the Rand Corporation's Institute for Civil Justice, which served as a technical consultant, met at Brookings six times between September 1988 and June 1989. In conjunction with the conference, the Foundation for Change commissioned Louis Harris and Associates to conduct a major survey of over 1,000 federal trial judges and litigators on their views about procedural reform. The recommendations in this report are significant not only because they are comprehensive in scope but also because of the diverse group of individuals who stand united behind them. The report reflects a consensus that a comprehensive program for civil justice reform can be successfully implemented and that such reform can significantly reduce litigation costs and delay.
