An Iowa Supreme Court task force established to propose reforms to Iowa’s civil justice system released its final report Wednesday. The 84-member Iowa Civil Justice Reform Task Force studied and considered court innovations to make Iowa’s civil justice system faster, less complicated, more affordable and better equipped to handle the demands of litigants and users of the civil justice system. The task force, which represented business, labor, medicine, industry, consumer groups, judges and lawyers, studied innovative litigation procedures and programs that work well in other parts of the country. The Supreme Court will review the recommendations and findings contained in the report and consider implementation of reforms that will match the needs of Iowans. The report is on the Iowa Judicial Branch website and can be accessed by clicking here.
