The American Bar Association, Duke Law School Center for Judicial Studies and a number of Michigan judges and lawyers will conduct a program today in Detroit addressing the 2015 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
“Reinventing Case Management and Discovery Under the 2015 Civil Rules Amendments” will take place from 2-5 p.m. in Room 115 of the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse in Detroit.
The three-hour program features national experts who will provide an overview of the amendments, followed by candid and interactive discussions among local judges, magistrate judges and practitioners from both the plaintiffs and defense bar, who will examine the implications for civil discovery and case management.
After the program, the Federal Bar Association, Eastern District of Michigan Chapter, will host a reception in the John Feikens Conference Center on the seventh floor of the courthouse.
