Likely Consequences of Amendments to Rule 68, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

摘要

This is the report of a 1994 Federal Judicial Center survey intended to assist the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules of the Judicial Conference of the United States in its consideration of possible amendments to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68. A number of possible alternatives have been suggested, including abolition of the current rule. Rule 68 is an offer-of-judgment provision that seeks to encourage settlement and to avoid unneeded trials.
