Summary
"The authors examined 20-40 years of civil case fillings in five states. While the presumption has always been the inevitability of increase-the workload of the courts has always grown and would continue to do so-the authors instead discovered that filing levels were unpredictable and declining, legislative changes do not have the intended impact, and, most significantly, efforts to simplify procedures and assist litigants are not always helpful. This book presents their findings in comprehensive and clear language underpinned by deep data and thoughtful analysis" -- Back cover.
