Let us endeavor to see things as they are, and then enquire whether
we ought to complain. Whether to see life as it is, will give us
much consolation, I know not; but the consolation which is drawn
from truth if any there be, is solid and durable: that which may be
derived from errour, must be, like its original, fallacious and
fugitive. Samuel Johnson, Letter to Bennet Langton (1758) Attorneys
and clients make hundreds of decisions in every litigation case.
From initially deciding which attorney to retain to deciding which
witnesses to call at trial, from deciding whether to ?le a
complaint to deciding whether to appeal a verdict, attorneys and
clients make multiple, critical decisions about strategies, costs,
arguments, valuations, evidence and negotiations. Once made, these
de- sions are scrutinized by an opponent intent on exploiting the
consequences of any mistake. In this intense and adversarial arena,
decision-making errors often are transparent, irreversible and
dispositive, wielding the power to bankrupt clients and dissolve
law ?rms. Although attorneys and clients may regard sound decision
making as incidental to effective lawyering, sound decision making
actually is the essence of effective lawyering. An attorney's
knowledge, intelligence and experience are inert re- urces until
the attorney decides how to deploy those skills to serve the
client's interests. Those decisions, in turn, largely determine a
case's course and outcome.
