Informed consent in medicine reshaped legal ethics toward collaborative lawyer-client decision-making.

Evidence

In recent years, however, this model of professional dominance has been challenged. In medicine, this is reflected in the development of the notion of informed consent: Physicians should explain the various options available to patients and proceed with a course of treatment only after receiving their consent. In law, too, the idea of a more collaborative relationship between lawyer and client has gained currency. … Proponents of this more cooperative approach suggest that clients should consider, along with their lawyers, such matters as “whether to sue at all, the ground rules of the lawyer’s and client’s mutual contact, the lawyer’s fee, the preparation of the case, the best time to sue, whether to seek a jury trial or special trial preference, various issues of settlement strategy, and the preparation for examination before trial.” — G. Alan Tarr, Judicial Process and Judicial…, 1168
