It is most often useful when opposing counsel are not seasoned litigators or are trying to litigate in an area that they don't have much legal expertise in and they have a small client without much reserve to litigate. It can be really fun. Hehehehe.

Certainly, the "drop the claims or I'll show you my hoo-ha" scared my client to death. How you knew that would work during a conference call negotiation was beyond me.
I tried to explain to them that even though Penske's been a bit "touched" since he reportedly saw it, he's still OK -- but the client wanted no part of that action.
