The new lawyer: Moving from warrior to conflict resolver
Abstract
Extract:
Legal practice is showing signs of the
evolution of a new professional identity
for lawyers which is responsive to new
dispute resolution processes with an
emphasis on just and strategic
settlement. In an era of ‘vanishing
trials’ — we know that between
95–98 per cent of civil claims end in a
negotiated outcome short of a full trial
— and sweeping civil justice reforms in
both civil and family matters, effective
negotiation and settlement skills are
becoming increasingly central to the
practice of law.
