Baker Sterchi Cowden & Rice is a member of Lawyers for Civil Justice (LCJ), a coalition of major U.S. companies and select law firms focused on improving the fairness, efficiency and predictability of civil litigation. Through this membership, our firm helps advance thoughtful rulemaking initiatives involving the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence. These practical rule changes aim to reduce unnecessary cost, limit gamesmanship and promote outcomes driven by the merits.
For clients evaluating litigation counsel, our involvement reflects a commitment that extends beyond defending individual cases. We stay closely connected to developments in federal procedure and evidentiary standards and bring that perspective to strategy, discovery, motion practice and trial. The result is representation that combines courtroom experience with a practical, forward-looking approach to civil litigation defense for all clients.
Scott Kreamer, managing member of Baker Sterchi, currently serves as president of LCJ. Robert Christie serves on the LCJ Board of Directors. LCJ Executive Director Dan Steen has recognized Kreamer’s practical perspective on litigation and leadership in support of the organization’s rule-reform initiatives.
