I have rarely seen the advantage of bifurcation. One potential advantage
would be to keep the bad facts out of the second phase. My experience is that that
stuff usually comes out anyway. It's very tough to keep stuff from a jury. Trying to
limit what information the jury gets will result in you appearing disingenuous. I think
that the jury looks to credibility of not just the client but the lawyer as well. Anything
you can do to maintain credibility you should do. And I think that not bifurcating a
trial helps.
Nicholas W. Hornberger, Hornberger and Brewer, Los Angeles
In California, you're always involved in a bifurcated trial on the issue of
punitive damages. It's been code for several years now.
As for bifurcating a trial on liability and damages, I've had that four or five times as
a plaintiff's attorney and a few as a defense attorney. As a plaintiff's attorney I'd
never ask for a bifurcated trial. As a defense attorney, sure, I'd do it if I could get
away with it. If you were a defense attorney in a case brought by a guy in a
wheelchair where your defense didn't have a lot of oomph to it, then you wouldn't
want to be in a non-bifurcated trial.
