Abstract
My task, as I understand it, is to make some observations about where complex litigation might head in the future - and some suggestions about how we might do our work today to make that future better. As I write this paper, I realize, of course, that this task is an impossible one. It is not impossible to imagine any of a number of possible futures for complex litigation; indeed, I spend a great deal of time imagining multiple possible futures. Since I am writing a month in advance of the conference, however, it is impossible to connect the ideas in this paper specifically to the ideas that we will hear (in my case, with great anticipation) during the conference itself. It is also impossible to be sure that anything I say here will in fact turn out as I predict.
So, having now freed myself of the twin responsibilities of insightfulness and accuracy, I forge ahead. The topics in this conference, as well as the larger concerns of which these topics are a part, can be divided in any number of ways, but I'll divide them into four categories: scarcity, adequate representation, juries and judges, and technology.
