Abstract
This post discusses Donna Shestowsky’s article, Inside the Mind of the Client: An Analysis of Litigants’ Decision Criteria for Choosing Procedures. Her study found that the decision-making factor that subjects most often cited was their lawyers’ advice. Donna argues, “Given the extent to which litigants are predisposed to following their lawyers’ advice about which procedures to use, lawyers should attempt to understand their clients’ interests, values, and objectives before sharing their personal evaluations of procedures to avoid imposing their own views.”
