Lawyers create value for their clients by effectively representing them in negotiations. Transactional lawyers bring multivariable deals together when expectations are high for the relationship. Litigators negotiate disputes in the shadow of potential trial outcomes in all but about 2% of cases. Sound decision making in these circumstances is the essence of effective lawyering. Since effective decision making is not strongly correlated with higher education or high I.Q., it must be learned and practiced. This course incorporates psychology and neuroscience, behavioral economics and game theory, and light statistical analysis through computer programs that aid decision-makers. Students will learn about well-known barriers to disinterested analysis, factors correlated with poor quality decisions and adverse outcomes, the incidence and magnitude of settlement decisions errors, and methods they can employ to improve decision-making and problem-solving skills.
