Those who visit court are accustomed to hearing both sides of an issue when arguments are made. But the Connecticut Law Tribune editorial of March 7, 2011, entitled “Reassess the Complex Lit Docket,” presented only one side of a very complicated topic. So, the Judicial Branch would now like the opportunity to state its case.
The editorial contends that the Judicial Branch does not provide “publicly available statistics” regarding the Complex Litigation Docket. In fact, the not-so-subtle suggestion is that the Branch is hiding those numbers simply because they are not in the Judicial Branch’s biennial report. Many Branch statistics, however, are not in the report because a tome would be required to provide all of the information. Moreover, any lawyer with an understanding of discovery knows this rule: Ask for it. Rest assured, had the authors asked for statistics, we would have been happy to provide them.
