Six of President Bush's nominees for the federal appeals courts have received "qualified" or "well qualified" ratings from the American Bar Association's Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary. These are the first ratings to come from the ABA committee since President Bush in March kicked the group out of its 48-year role pre-screening potential judicial nominees for the White House.

Amendments to the discovery provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are being considered. The most significant — and controversial — of the proposals would narrow the scope of discovery under Rule 26; impose or reduce numerical limits on written discovery and depositions under Rules 30, 31, 33 and 36; and, in Rule 37, adopt a uniform set of guidelines concerning sanctions when a party fails to preserve discoverable information.
