Helping Your Client Cope With Losing a Job
October 9, 2015
Employment litigation is one of the most common areas of litigation. In addition, in general it is an extremely emotionally difficult area to litigate because of the significant emotions on both sides. For that reason, it’s an area of law that’s well suited for negotiation or mediation, given the time, expense and emotional cost a trial can inflict. It is important to understand that when employees lose their job, they suffer grief over the loss. That grief can create major emotional barriers...

Trial by Combat: Truly An Alternative Dispute Resolution
August 30, 2015
When dealing with another round of boorish behavior by opposing counsel, who hasn't quietly wondered: "If only we could settle this the old-fashioned way." Even though modern trials evolved from the trial by combat of the Middle Ages, today our chosen champions wear suits instead of armor, wield laptops instead of swords, and face off in courtrooms rather than courtyards. Recently, however, a "Game of Thrones"-inspired lawyer from New York actually filed a motion in court seeking trial by combat. Staten...
