A survey by the Federal Judicial Center of 278 U.S. District Court judges found that most do not see frivolous litigation as a big problem in the federal court system. Seven of ten judges said frivolous litigation was either a "small problem" or a "very small problem," while 15% actually said it was not a problem at all. Just one percent called it a "very large problem," two percent called it a "large problem" and the remaining twelve percent called it a "moderate problem."

The Federal Judicial Center is the research agency of the U.S. court system. The findings, set forth in a document entitled "Report of a Survey of United States District Judges' Experiences and Views Concerning Rule 11, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure" can be downloaded here.
