I have been tasked with researching jury verdicts/settlement amounts in wrongful death cases with adult victims (married couple murder-suicides). Any advice on where I can find that info? I’m assuming it is only available from paid resources?

Westlaw has a feature that allows you to search jury awards and settlements entered on the record

Depends on where you are to some degree. In California I use Jury Verdicts Weekly. Esp the Annual index. That said, you’re describing a pretty narrow search so it could get pricey no matter what you use as I suspect you’re going to have to turn over a lot of rocks. Also if you’re plaintiff side, you might check the boards at American Association of Justice or Association of Trial Lawyers of America.

Thank you!

Settlement amounts, because they are contractual in nature, are rarely actually publicly available. Some data will be available, but it will be a subset of the data and likely skewed.

Thanks so much - that makes me feel a lot better about the limited results I found

You can glean some from west law. Bar associations often gather trial verdicts.

Also, how is the hike and compensation benefits for the employees at Bain?

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??
