The settlement documentary is commonly called a settlement brochure. Typically presented by the plaintiff in a civil case, a settlement documentary is a video summation of one side of a case. It is very biased and can use music, mood lighting, narration, accusations, explicit images, sobbing relatives, etc. There are no restrictions on what or how it can be presented.

The settlement documentary is not meant to be presented as evidence in court. It is used in pre-trial hearings or mediation to leverage a quick settlement. Because of the powerful, emotional content of this production, opposing attorneys are often quite enthusiastic to settle.

The hiring attorney has the final word as to content, style, presentation and the finished production.
