On September 15, Rita Maimbourg participated on a panel at the Federal Bar Association’s Annual Meeting and Convention. The panel was composed entirely of Fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers, including the Honorable Jack Zouhary of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio. The Fellows discussed the practical impact of the Amended Federal Civil Rules and how they are intended to change the way judges and lawyers handle cases to reduce cost and delay, rein in discovery guided by proportionality and cooperation, and increase a judge’s role to achieve prompt and efficient resolutions of disputes.
