However, for a number of reasons, including litigation expenses, ease of case preparation through formal discovery, avoidance of strict federal court pleading and discovery requirements, avoidance of Daubert requirements regarding expert testimony, and the opportunity for an earlier trial date, the state court may be preferable. This article addresses the strategies a litigant can employ to reduce the chance of removal when there is simply no viable local defendant.
