Does your C&E program do this?
In his Devil’s Dictionary short story writer Ambrose Bierce defined ‘law suit” to mean: ‘A machine which you go into as a pig and come out of as a sausage.”
I have always loved this definition, particularly, given that it was made more than a century ago.
But does the basic idea belong in a C&E program?
I think so, at least at a high level. While not in the heartland of such programs, the unexpected costliness of bringing bad faith lawsuits is worth treating as a risk, and one where the C&E office can in some circumstances make a positive contribution.
