LEGAL RESEARCH TIP Westlaw's new database Civil Litigation
Management Manual (Database Identifier: CIVLITMGMT) contains the full text of
the Federal Judicial Center's Civil Litigation Management Manual, published in
2001. This manual provides trial judges a handbook on managing civil cases by
setting out a wide array of case-management techniques, beginning with case
filing and concluding with steps for streamlining trials and discusses a number
of special topics, including pro se and high visibility cases, the role of staff, and
automation that supports case management. The manual, which was produced
in response to the Civil Justice Reform Act of 1990, is based on the experiences
of federal district and magistrate judges and reflects techniques they have
developed.
