Evaluate the major problems facing the federal courts and the strengths and weaknesses of the major solutions that have been proposed to address these problems
What will be an ideal response?
Heavy caseloads are the major problem facing the federal courts. Not only does the heavy workload burden those who work in the courts, but also it affects litigants whose cases may be delayed because of backlog. Adding more staff, especially more federal judges, could help, but is cost prohibitive. Reducing the jurisdiction of the federal courts, especially by eliminating diversity of citizenship jurisdiction, could also help, but has not gained sufficient political support for Congress to have acted on the proposal.
