A personal-injury lawyer works as an agent for his injured plaintiff. The expected award from the trial (taking into account the plaintiff's probability of prevailing and the damage award if she prevails) is e2/2, where e is the lawyer's effort. Effort costs the lawyer e2/2 . The lawyer is risk-neutral and his surplus is his fees minus the effort cost. a. If the lawyer obtains the customary 1/3 contingency fee (that is, the lawyer gets 1/3 of the award if the plaintiff prevails), what is the lawyer's choice of effort, his surplus, and the plaintiff's surplus in equilibrium? b. What is the optimal contingency fee from the plaintiff's perspective? Compute the associated surpluses for the lawyer and plaintiff. Suppose that the plaintiff is also risk-neutral.
