In-house Litigation Management

What does “litigation management” really mean? How do you do it? Are you supposed to be involved in every detail or merely outsource cases to outside counsel and receive status reports, or something in between? Does it matter what kind of case it is? How do you best advise your boss of the status of these cases? The panel discussed different methods and styles of litigation management, and guided attendees to determine which approach works best for them, their companies, and their cases.
