conflicts, issues of control, and other disruptions to the legal process. Although judges have inherent authority to <strong>Ask About TPLF<\/strong> in their cases, a rule is needed to ensure that the process for disclosure is straightforward and consistent across all federal civil cases rather than having courts decide the process case by case.
