There has been a rapid shift in the caseload of state courts.  Costs of litigation are increasing, time to disposition of litigation increasing, trials are decreasing, and it is increasingly difficult for plaintiffs to find representation to vindicate their rights in civil suits.  However, an even larger shift has occurred with a dramatic increase in “assembly line plaintiffs” taking over state court dockets for debt collections, evictions, and foreclosure, leaving more defendants unrepresented than plaintiffs.  How should our state courts respond to these changes?

Attendees joining in-person can earn up to 5 credits of CLE. This is a hybrid event.
