Case Evaluation
Case evaluation is a non-binding process in which parties to a dispute present the issues and facts to be determined to an experienced neutral case evaluator. The case evaluator advises the parties on the strengths and weaknesses of their respective positions, and assesses how the dispute is possible to be decided by a jury or other adjudicator. The parties may use this feedback to reach a mutually agreeable resolution.
Early Neutral Evaluation
Early neutral evaluation is a process, which may take place soon after a case has been filed in court. The case is referred to an expert, typically an attorney, who is asked to provide a balanced and unbiased evaluation of the dispute. The expert identifies each side's strengths and weaknesses and provides an evaluation of the likely outcome of a trial. This evaluation can help the parties in assessing their case and may drive them towards a settlement.
