Attorney Dave Christensen, along with other members of the Civil Justice Improvements Committee, has worked for two years on recommendations that could improve civil litigation across the country.
"The legal system can be confusing and complex for the average citizen seeking justice through litigation. The committee's goal has been to help state courts improve access to justice by simplifying procedures and reducing cost and delay," Christensen says. "The other members and I have worked hard to develop guidelines and best practices that I think policymakers across the country will find helpful if our recommendations are adopted."
The Civil Justice Improvements Committee was appointed by the Conference of Chief Justices, the highest judicial officers of the states and the District of Columbia, plus United States commonwealths and territories.
Christensen, founder of Christensen Law, is one of two attorneys from Michigan that sit on the committee. The 22-member Civil Justice Improvements Committee includes lawyers, judges and law school professors from across the United States. The committee will present its recommendations to the Conference of Chief Justices at its next meeting.
