What is decision tree analysis?

Decision tree analysis, when applied to the field of litigation, is sometimes referred to as litigation risk analysis. Decision tree analysis is a graphical representation of uncertainty in a decision making process. It is a method of analyzing a lawsuit that uses a tree-like model of decisions and possible outcomes that help litigators, mediators, and clients make better decisions. Litigators and clients can conduct what-if analyses and establish settlement goals, gaining critical leverage in settlement negotiations.

Decision tree analysis does not replace the experience and judgment of the litigator, mediator, or client. Instead, decision tree analysis leverages that experience to make it more powerful. There are several key advantages of decision tree analysis, including:

• Decision tree analysis is simple to create, understand, and interpret.
• Decision tree analysis provides value even with great uncertainty.
• Decision tree analysis provides a framework for client decisions.
• Decision tree analysis facilitates clear communication between you, your clients, and the court.
• Decision tree analysis is a tool to foster a logical, thorough discussion of the many upsides and downsides of trial with your client.
• Decision tree analysis helps a party to a negotiation detach and depersonalize their concessions.
• Decision tree analysis results in better managed client expectations.
