Judicial Controls And The Civil Litigative Process: Discovery, Paul R. Connolly, Edith A. Holleman, Michael J. Kuhlman

Federal Judicial Center Reports

This report should be viewed as a beginning. It explores from one perspective the operation of the federal rules governing discovery as revealed in more than 7,000 docketed requests appearing in more than 3,000 terminated cases in six United States district courts, (A survey of practitioners in the six districts suggests that the docketed requests cover the great bulk of discovery activity.) The report is a continuation of the Center's District court studies Project, the first report of which (Case Management and Court Management in United States District Court) appeared several months ago.

Preliminary Notes Toward A Study Of Judicial Notice, E. F. Roberts

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The author describes the common law as a "machine," with judges and lawyers as its working parts. He explains that its successful operation requires a kind of "intellectual adrenalin" in order to keep it responsive to its changing environment. This is the function of judicial notice. The author next examines the different views of judicial notice and points out that each is a reflection of the era in which it was created. He concludes that judicial notice is not a distinct doctrine like the hearsay rule, but rather is simply the art of thinking as practiced within the legal system.

A Tribute To Chief Judge Tuttle, Earl Warren

Georgia Law Review

It is entirely fitting that this new and lively journal of the law should be paying tribute to Judge Elbert P. Tuttle. For though he has relinquished his position as Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit because of the statutory age limit he continues to serve that court and to stand for what is young and vibrant and progressive in his State, in the South and throughout the country. I am honored to have been invited to add my few words in praise of a great Judge.

Judge Tuttle came to the federal …

Chief Judge Tuttle And The Fifth Circuit, John M. Wisdom

Georgia Law Review

Before putting pen to paper I asked two men who have worked closely with Elbert Tuttle how, in a word, they would describe his outstanding quality. One of the men is the Deputy Clerk of Court for the Fifth Circuit; the other is a member of our court. The overburdened Deputy Clerk somehow remembered that Judge Tuttle's first opinion concerned electric motors. He hesitated a moment, then answered, "Judge Tuttle's been going like an electric motor ever since his first opinion back in October 1954." Our brother judge did not hesitate. "I can give it to you in one word: …

Abuse Of Attorneys By Judges, Francis G. Homan Jr.
