The Civil Justice Reform Act of 1990 (CJRA) represents an unprecedented attempt by Congress to address perceived problems of excessive cost, congestion, and delay in the federal courts. In this article, Senator Biden, a primary architect of the CJRA, argues that Congress shares with the judiciary a constitional duty to ensure all Americans an adequate federal forum in which to obtain justice. Describing the CJRA as an appropriate and promising beginning, Senator Biden argues that Congress has a continuing responsibility to help control the federal caseload. In particular, he offers a framework for analyzing proposals to expand federal jurisdiction which seeks to limit such jurisdiction to strong federal interests while maintaining the historic role of the federal courts in protecting basic rights.
