The Lawyers Conference of the ABA Judicial Division invites applicants to its Fourth Annual U.S. Supreme Court Small Group Admissions Ceremony in Washington, D.C., to be held on Monday, March 25, 2019. Lawyers Conference members will receive priority acceptance on a first come, first served basis into the group admission program, which is limited to 12 individuals seeking admission.
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 Hirsch at merril@merrilhirsh.com.
