This pocket guide explains how standardized fact sheets can help judges manage multidistrict litigation involving many parties and claims. It describes their purposes during discovery and the practical decisions involved in choosing whether and how to use them.
The discussion covers costs, scope, timing, shorter profile forms, conferences with counsel, questionnaire contents and case-management orders. It also addresses incomplete responses and enforcement difficulties. An appendix follows approaches used in actual proceedings, showing how courts adjusted forms and deadlines as litigation developed. The complete first edition preserves these examples, citations and concluding material.
