Something that is a way bigger part of practice than law school leads you to believe: high-low agreements

(see, e.g., https://mdafny.com/index.aspx?TypeContent=CUSTOMPAGEARTICLE&custom_pages_articlesID=14799)

I don't have one brewing or pending or anything else right now. Just a comment because I was thinking about them.

Obviously my sort of practice: appellate commercial litigation with some appellate personal injury litigation thrown in.

I mean, if you'd told me in law school: "hey, in a lot of jury trials the parties have already decided that the plaintiff won't get what the jury says" I'd have been very surprised to hear that!

@RMFifthcircuit I’m almost 15 years out of law school and I’m surprised to hear it now. (Maybe I shouldn’t say that where people can read it.)
