This sourcebook is a reference guide on mediation & conference programs in the federal courts of appeals -- programs that offer a way for courts to deal with increasing filings without increased demand for circuit judgeships. The sourcebook responds to requests from the appellate courts for a detailed description of other circuits' mediation & conference programs as well as more general information about what happens in other circuits. In addition, it provides a means for attorneys to learn more about these programs; providing this information to attorneys helps the courts work more efficiently.
