Litigants experienced in particular areas of the law, but with no experience in the Court of Federal Claims (CFC), find that including local CFC counsel on their legal team is a wise move.
Why?
Litigating cases before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims is a unique challenge, even for experienced lawyers. The Court of Federal Claims differs from other federal courts, with its own set of rules: The CFC is a specialized forum with its own culture, procedures, and substantive focus. In this presentation, we briefly explain 8 ways that practicing before the Court is unique.
Our partners, Nancie G. Marzulla and Roger Marzulla, have represented clients in the CFC for decades and have served as local counsel in the Court of Federal Claims on legal teams.
This experience has shown us that the judges in the CFC expect high technical competence from litigators and an understanding of the Court’s rules, and many non-CFC practitioners find that it is valuable to have an experienced CFC lawyer on their team.
These images give a brief explanation of the unique characteristics of the Court of Federal Claims.
