ABA Section of Litigation in co-sponsorship with Duke Law presents: Rules Amendments Roadshow 

Hello "Proportionality," Goodbye "Reasonably Calculated": 
Reinventing Case Management and Discovery Under the 2015 Civil Rules 

Join us in Washington, D.C. on December 8, 2015 

The 2015 Amendments to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 16, 26, and 37, that took effect on December 1, 2015, will usher in the most significant changes to discovery and case management practices in more than a decade. Each three-hour program will feature leaders from the Rules amendment process, who will walk the audience through the Amendments and their implications for civil litigation. Spirited panel discussions among local District Court Judges, Magistrate Judges, and leading litigators will explore the Amendments' practical discovery implications and best practices for case management under the amended Rules. Each program's attendees will discuss application of the new rules to a variety of hypothetical cases and leave with a toolbox of techniques for putting the Amendments into practice.

The goal: to further the understanding of the case-management techniques that will help courts and litigants realize the Amendments' full potential to make discovery more targeted, less expensive, and more effective in achieving justice.
