Civil Appeals Settlement
Program
In 1998, the Court
established a Civil Appeals Settlement Program (CASP). Pursuant to this
program, selected civil appeals are conferenced by a hearing officer appointed
by the Court in an effort to arrive at a settlement of the matter or, at a
minimum, limitation of the issues to be considered on appeal. The success
of CASP has been a major factor in the Court's efforts to find new ways to deal
with its increasing workload.
