Settling Significant Cases, Jeffrey R. Seul
Settling Significant Cases, Jeffrey R. Seul
Washington Law Review
Negotiation, mediation, and other consensus-based alternatives to litigation are most often studied and defended in the context of ordinary disputes, in which liability and distributive issues are contested, but the background norms that govern the outcome of a lawsuit are not.
