David Marcus

Marcus researches the various procedural rules and doctrines that regulate civil litigation in the federal courts.  He also studies federal agencies and how they adjudicate large volumes of cases and claims.

Marcus recently completed a two-year study of social security disability benefits litigation, a project sponsored by the Administrative Conference of the United States.  This study generated a recommendation that the federal judiciary enact special procedural rules for these cases.  The rulemaking committee within the federal judiciary is presently considering this proposal. Other recent civic engagement includes offering comment in the Arizona House and Senate on Arizona’s resolution applying for an Article V convention.
