Research Reports
The Federal Judicial Center's liaisons to the Judicial Conference's standing Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure and its five advisory committees regularly attend committee meetings, and the Center's Research Division is frequently asked to provide the committees with independent empirical research to inform policy considerations. Some of the Center's research projects culminate in Print Publications; other projects culminate in reports that are available Online Only.
