ABSTRACT
As it has in the rest of the world, Covid-19 has had a marked impact on civil litigation in America. In March 2020, the American Congress passed legislation to address many aspects of the Covid-19 crisis, including provisions about court operations, and the American rulemakers have been looking carefully at the civil litigation rules for our federal courts since then. The ultimate outcome remains uncertain, but the contours of possible change are emerging.
