From 2005 to 2015 this blog presented news items and resources relating to trial advocacy and the legal system, with a focus on Washington State. It was developed to support the Trial Advocacy Program at the University of Washington School of Law, but broadened to include appellate practice, the courts, access to justice, and related topics. It is no longer active.

Costs of Conflict
Stewart Levine -- an author and consultant in alternative dispute resolution -- wrote about The Many Costs of Conflict in the Dec. 2006 issue of the ABA's Law Practice Management. He leads with the statistic that 20% of senior executives' time in Fortune 500 companies is spent on litigation-related activities. The cost of litigation isn't just the attorneys' fees -- it's also this time, and the severed business relationships, and so on. Food for thought.
