LC law student members have access to our "Judicial Clerkship Forum: A Conversation with 12 Judges" magazine. Get the inside scoop from the judges of the Judicial Division.
These case studies describe in detail how special masters were used in the pretrial phase of three complex cases, one involving alleged misappropriation of trade secrets in the Superior Court of Georgia and two health insurance merger cases in Federal district court in the District of Columbia. Each case study presents practical information about the process, and describes the advantages and disadvantages of involving a special master from the perspectives of the judges and attorneys.
The report is a product of the Lawyers Conference Committee on Special Masters, which hopes to add similar studies to promote the appropriate use of special masters. If you have a case that would make a good addition, please contact Committee Chair, Merril Hirsh at merril@merrilhirsh.com.
