Methods for Studying Disputes: Learning from the CLRP Experience
The Civil Litigation Research Project (CLRP) evolved as a study of dispute processing in the United States, with a major focus on the role of courts. CLRP is not a study of everything that courts do or of the whole range of dispute processing. Rather it is concerned largely with the intersection of courts and dispute processing. It seeks to answer these questions: how do courts fit within the larger dispute processing system? How do courts compare to alternatives that deal with comparable disputes? What do courts do well in this regard? What do they do poorly? What does it cost to process disputes in court? How do you explain these costs? How do such costs compare to the costs incurred in other dispute processing institutions?
