Webinar on the Proposed Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

The Sedona Conference “Voices From the Desert” webinar series is honored to host three of the primary drafters of the proposed amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The 90-minute panel will explain the amendments, discuss some of the process and thinking that went into the various drafts, and prognosticate on the consequences the amendments may have on day-to-day civil litigation practice.

The webinar will be moderated by a recently-appointed Civil Rules Advisory Committee member, Judge Craig Shaffer, and by Kenneth J. Withers of The Sedona Conference. Joining Judge Shaffer and Mr. Withers will be Judge David Campbell, the Chair of the Civil Rules Advisory Committee; Judge Paul Grimm, who chaired the subcommittee primarily responsible for addressing proposals related to sanctions; and Judge John Koeltl, who chaired the subcommittee primarily responsible for addressing cooperation, proportionality, and case management issues.

The distinguished panel will be available for questions by text during the webinar, and you are also welcome to submit questions or comments to The Sedona Conference at info@sedonaconference.org in advance of the webinar.
