This case simulation is designed for participants in lawyer and client roles. We all know that \u201cin real life\u201d, much of this discussion of the case and potential settlement would take place over the course of the lawyer-client relationship. They would have or should have spoken about the client\u2019s interests, priorities, comfort with risk, and familiarity with the legal process. That\u2019s true on the plaintiff client side, certainly, and I\u2019d say on the insurer client side as well (even if most insurer representatives might have some basic familiarity). It\u2019s important for the lawyer to know something about the defense client context \u2013 both the Harvest Plenty decision-maker and the insurer representative. Are there corporate constraints? Policies? Linked cases? Has the insurer already put a reserve on the case? How strict a line is that? How much authority and influence does the insurance company have? Eventually, lawyers would seek to get formal settlement authority from their clients before entering a negotiation with the lawyer on the others side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
