Rule 53

Rule 53 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure allows a federal court to appoint a special master in complex or challenging cases. A special master is an impartial expert who helps manage specific tasks, such as gathering evidence, overseeing discovery, or resolving disputes, to ensure the case proceeds smoothly. The appointment is made to assist the court in efficiently handling complicated issues or managing workload. This rule ensures that complex cases are managed effectively while maintaining fairness and clarity in the judicial process.
