In drafting a settlement agreement, the devil is in the details. - Pete Wright.

Settling a case avoids the delay, expense, uncertainty, and emotional strain associated with litigation. A settlement agreement offers more flexibility in crafting a remedy.

Yet few agreements are more complex than settlement agreements.

A well-crafted settlement agreement can be very effective in resolving disputes and allowing the parties to move forward. A poorly-crafted agreement can create new problems, and lead to even more litigation.

In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate learn about conflict, and other obstacles to effective advocacy. Demystify a settlement agreement by learning how to structure the agreement and what to avoid. Get a sample.

We hope you will forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.
