| 505 | 0 | |a Intro -- Contents -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- 1. Prefer humanity to complexity -- 2. Rethink 90 percent of the typical complaint -- make it about key facts, not law -- 3. Address basic pleading and proof deficiencies with a single motion -- 4. Decide cases once -- use agency remands sparingly -- 5. Reconsider standing challenges -- they invite more lawsuits -- 6. Reduce fighting over subject matter jurisdiction -- the unheard will not remain unseen -- 7. Order discovery when a case begins -- police it without written motions -- 8. Creatively manage complex cases | |
| 505 | 8 | |a No case should be too big to try -- 9. Mediate, but don't delay the case for it -- 10. Streamline trials -- they'll be more final, more credible -- 11. Directly involve judges in jury selection -- 12. Increase juror numbers and diversity with remote jury trials -- 13. Question the number of motions in limine -- 14. Most exhibits prove undisputed facts -- we don't need them -- 15. Actively oppose cumulative and time-wasting testimony -- 16. Too much expert testimony is discrediting experts -- 17. Consider common sense first in family court -- 18. Introduce time clocks to encourage efficient trials | |
| 505 | 8 | |a 19. Needless objections annoy judges and jurors -- 20. Make a point, not a muddle, with prior testimony -- 21. Punish misconduct when it happens rather than in a separate proceeding -- 22. Cross-examine crisply, crushingly, or not at all -- 23. Humanize overstuffed, bewildering jury charges and interrogatories -- 24. Save time in court trials by substituting longer closing arguments for posttrial briefing -- 25. Keep cases in the hands of a single judge from start to finish -- 26. Speed cases to trial with judicial administration instead of slowing them down | |
| 505 | 8 | |a 27. Accelerate and simplify justice with technology -- 28. Virtual proceedings should be the rule -- 29. As a judge, prefer the model of a village elder -- 30. Cases are better resolved on their facts than on the law -- 31. Deploy canons of construction sparingly-only when they have a compelling reason to exist -- 32. Rarely resort to legislative history -- it's often unreliable -- 33. Reduce distractions by identifying fallacies -- 34. Don't blur laws to conquer facts -- 35. Endless consumer disclosures aren't doing us any good -- they are just low-hanging fruit -- 36. Reduce judicial testiness | |
| 505 | 8 | |a Use multipoint tests only when each point has meaning -- 37. Similar-sounding cases aren't precedent -- 38. The best legal writing is literature, not formula -- 39. Don't plod through the history of the case and familiar standards -- 40. Junk the jargon -- 41. Needless detail is... -- 42. The best appellate decisions deeply and plainly explain the law -- 43. There is a better home for law clerks outside of busy work and junior judging -- 44. Appellate courts should reform rusty rules -- 45. The best trial court decisions get straight to saying who wins and why | |
