what happens during a settlement hearing?
I got a letter from my lawyer today saying i have to attend a settlement hearing on Monday. What happens during this? Its for a medical malpractice case. Thanks!
You should ask your attorney this question because there are a lot of different ways that settlement hearings are conducted.
At a very general level, a judge (other than the one who actually is hearing the case if it goes to trial) or a mediator will meet with the attorneys. The judge will try to figure out what are the issues that still separate the two sides (which is typically money in a medical malpractice case) and try to figure out if there is a way that the parties can reach a compromise.
Depending on how much it resembles a formal mediation, there may be a summary from both attorneys with the parties present and the judge may then shuttle back and forth between the parties conveying offers and counter-offers and pointing out reasons to consider accepting the offer. In a more informal settlement conference, the two parties may never be in the same room together and the attorneys may go back and forth between talking with their clients and talking with the judge.
