 Written authorizations for
educational or employment records and information. (Downloadable
packet with law report and three forms.)
These authorization forms speed you on your way to educational and employment
information
about a party (your client or theirs).
Form Authorizations for Employment / Education Info
(Packet) gives you:
-
Forms for both plaintiff and defense. You
want your client to give you maximum authority to get information. You
don't want your client to give the adversary anything except a bare
minimum authority to see records. You don't want employers and educators
thinking your client wants them to have private conversations with your
adversary. That's why any litigator should have two forms --- one for
your client to give you; the other for those times when you have to give
the adversary an authorization for employment or education records.
-
Time. A good legal
form saves you time. Don't reinvent the wheel, and don't waste time when
you have more important things to do.
-
A "Best Practice": You can delegate a large part of
the process of "get authorization so we can have have the employer give
us information."
-
A Bonus for plaintiff counsel! Self-builder for value of lost
time: A letter to employers that puts on auto-pilot the process of
computing the value of lost time of a client who was employed at the
time of bodily injury.
Both plaintiff and defense counsel frequently overlook taking
a quick look at the employment and education records of the
plaintiff. It’s easy and cheap for the plaintiff’s attorney to
have their client sign an authorization and then have office
staff get the records by a simple letter request. It's harder
for the defense counsel to get the plaintiff to give an
authorization for the defense to get education or employment
records, but some defense firms have found it a good practice to
always inquire for the plaintiff's signed authorization.
Records not only may be primary evidence of work or education
before the injury, but also may lead counsel to witnesses that
the plaintiff has not thought to mention, but who have jury
credibility and can testify to the good health and habits of the
plaintiff before the injury. Indeed, a work supervisor or
teacher may be the most effective witness on the effect of an
injury on work or education.
The solution to moving fast and inexpensively, getting done
what needs to be done, is to have authorization forms available.
