COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will examine lawyers roles with respect to the voluntary resolution of lawsuits. Settlement is, in many contexts, the most common conclusion for litigation. In what ways can lawyers add value to these outcomes? What level of visibility do (should?) clients have into the processes associated with settlement? How do (should?) clients exercise autonomy and informed choice in the context of the
negotiations leading to settlement? What incentives, information asymmetries, procedural protections, ethical constraints, and practice norms serve to form the landscape within which settlement decisions are made? Lawyers roles are commonly viewed through the lens of traditional litigation, transactional, or compliance-focused practice. In what ways might we think of lawyering differently if we viewed it through the lens of settlement?
