THE ROBING ROOM

I just had an employment mediation with Judge Gauvey. She was very nice to everyone, although clearly was annoyed at me and my client for trying to keep the settlement dollars low once we got very close. She spent a lot of time with the plaintiff, talking to her and trying to 'find out about her,' which was an approach I don't see. I don't know if it helped the case settle or not. The case might have settled without her, and she definitely pushed my client to come up with more money than they wanted to pay, but it was still a range a consider a good settlement.
