- Twombly, Pleading Rules, and the Regulation of Court Access
In Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, the Supreme Court reconsidered Conley v. Gibson 's very liberal notice pleading standard and held that the plaintiff must allege enough to support a plausibility of wrongdoing. This Article considers the Twombly decision within the broader framework of court access regulation and sketches a normative roadmap for designing optimal pleading and merits-based case-screening rules. The Article begins with an analysis of Twombly itself. It argues, contrary to much criticism of the decision, that the Court's plausibility standard represents only a modest departure from traditional notice pleading and that its interpretation of Rule 8(a)(2) is consistent with the text and history of the Rule and in line with the pragmatic vision of the original Federal Rule dr...

- Commentary: Enhanced Pleading in Title Vii Claims
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument on a case a little more than three years ago that ultimately changed the landscape for those seeking the dismissal -- or to avoid the dismissal -- of Title VII cases at the pleading stage. In Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544 (2007) (argued Nov. 27, 2006), the Supreme Court evaluated the degree of specificity necessary in alleging a federal antitrust claim.

Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46 (1957). Rejecting that standar...

- Twombly, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Courts
In 1934, Congress enacted the Rules Enabling Act, authorizing the Supreme Court to promulgate uniform rules governing practice and procedure in the federal courts. The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were thereafter enacted and took effect in 1938. A hallmark of the Federal Rules was a liberalization of pleading standards. Bell Atlantic Corp v Twombly, the High Court, reversing the Second Circuit, held that a complaint that alleges mere parallel behavior among rival telecommunications companies, coupled with stray statements of agreement that amounted to legal conclusions failed, as a matter of law, to state a claim for an antitrust conspiracy in violation of section 1 of the Sherman Act. Now that Twombly has overruled Conley v Gibson, it is imperative that the Advisory Committee revis...
