Abstract

Abstract In 1979, the Office for Improvements in the Administration of Justice (OIAJ) of the U.S. Justice Department commissioned a major study of civil litigation in the United States. The two goals of those who developed the initial plans for the study were to obtain baseline information on the civil justice process in the United States, particularly with regard to costs, and to create an information base that would be useful for understanding the civil justice system in order that proposals for reforms of the system could be rationally considered (see Rosenberg, 1980-1981; Sarat, 1981).
