Institute 1: Responsible Record Keeping and Thorough Discovery Facilitate Settlement
Records obtained through discovery should include both quantitative and qualitative detail sufficient to understand the steps taken by evaluators to minimize cognitive bias, review the information considered, and develop focused questions for deposition. Such questions enable evaluators to articulate how their opinions were formulated. With this information available, attorneys are better able to guide their clients through substantive settlement discussions.
