June 20, 2018 – Law Week Colorado featured a recent report published by The Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS). The report studies the effect summary judgment has on cost, duration and access to justice. Sherman & Howard trial attorney, Peter G. Koclanes, was highlighted in the article speaking on summary judgment and dispositive motion practice.

“When judges take an active role in their docket and their cases and have cold pre-motion filing conferences in order to have a dialog…it’s extremely productive, it helps the court with its resources, it help the parties with their resources and time,” Koclanes said. “It’s so much more efficient than the parties filing motions and going through the briefing.”
