Indiana's Commercial Courts Handbook is based in large part on the National Judicial College's Resource Guide on Complex Litigation, which was originally created to assist state trial judges who are assigned to commercial court civil cases. The Handbook has six chapters: (1) General Considerations; (2) Case Management Conferences; (3) Discovery; (4) Trial Management Conference/Preparation for Trial; (5) Trial; (6) Managing Class Actions; and the Appendix.
For more information about commercial courts in Indiana, see the Commercial Courts Committee.
