A hypothetical case. Mrs. Thomas is being sued by her neighbor Ms. Davis,for running over her prize winning tulips and killing them. Ms. Davis is suing Mrs. Thomas and asking the court to award her 20,000 in damages. Mrs Thomas has never been sued before and doesn't understand the litigation process. Mrs. Thomas attorney has already advised her to try to resolve the matter through mediation. How would I explain the litigation process to Mrs. Thomas in understandable terms?

Can you just ask Mrs. Thomas' attorney to explain it in layman's terms? He may have done this before to other clients. Saves you the trouble of a misunderstanding.**

Tell her to toss a coin. A lot cheaper, and just as predictable.
