How to get good settlements.
Evan Schaefer refers to a great post on the Virginia Injury Lawyer Blog which sets forth sixteen recommendations for getting good settlements. Read it. I thought it was inspiring.
Opposition Strategy Prediction Assesment
John Romano at Trial Lawyer Resource Center did a post some time back on strategy and predicting your opponents strategy First he points out that "strategy" is a means not an end. The end is "to win the trial" - "strategy" is "how we are going to win the trial." A necessary step in determining your strategy is to predict the other side's strategy. This is what he calls O.S.P.A. or Opposition Strategy Prediction Assesment. I will not go into the details of O.S.P.A. as the post is quite long. My advice is to go to the post, print it out and save it for future reference. It is a very good article.
