Working together: leaders pledge 105th Congress will pursue a bipartisan course

Article Abstract:

The 105th Congress will be controlled by a Republican majority that is larger in the Senate and smaller in the House of Representatives, and the leadership has called for increased bipartisanship. At the top of the agenda will be the balanced budget, but many other issues of interest to the ABA will also be considered. Issues include continued funding of the Legal Services Corporation, reauthorization of Superfund, tort reform, campaign finance reform, reauthorization of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act and increased pay for federal judges.

Whoa! ABA seeks delay in amending federal discovery rules

Article Abstract:

The ABA is lobbying Congress to delay adoption of proposed changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The US Judicial Conference developed these changes and submitted them to Congress after approval by the US Supreme Court. Unless Congress delays them, they will become law on Dec 1, 1993. The ABA is especially concerned that a proposed mandatory disclosure clause in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 would interfere with federal district courts' ongoing efforts to streamline procedures pursuant to the Civil Justice Reform Act of 1990.
