Preventing Bad Settlement Decisions and Impasse: Using Brain Science, Game Theory
April 8, 2013
The fact patterns of this course will be familiar to the experienced mediator and trial advocate in negotiation: difficult people, heightened emotions, overly confident case assessments, deeply held beliefs, and barriers to rational deals. We will explore the neuropsychology behind these defining characteristics and the mediator micro-interventions that can turn them from impasse ingredients to the seeds of a successful deal. We will explore modern brain science—not only as a way to explain...

But what is truly unfortunate is the underlying billable-hour regime and the law-firm culture it has spawned. Lost in the furor surrounding one large firm’s current public relations headache are deeper problems that go to the heart of the prevailing big law-firm business model itself. Regrettably, as with previous...
