Civil Justice Reform Act

The Civil Justice Reform Act, enacted in 1990, aimed to make the U.S. civil court system more efficient and cost-effective. It encouraged procedures like early settlement efforts, streamlined case management, and limits on discovery to reduce delays and expenses. The law promotes principles such as transparency, fairness, and timeliness, helping parties resolve disputes more efficiently while maintaining judicial integrity. Overall, it seeks to improve access to justice by decreasing procedural burdens and fostering a more manageable and predictable litigation process.
