**This is my Job Market Paper. I refine the random utility model (RUM) of Block and Marschak (1959) and represent stochastic choice data with quasi-linear types. These types reflect heterogeneous preferences of a group of agents or a single agent across repeated questions.

To delegate future choices, planners can influence doers in various ways. In the intrapersonal case, a planner can motivate her future self by commitments, promises, deadlines etc. In the interpersonal case, doers can be selected and/or persuaded to change their beliefs.

This article models litigation in signaling games with an imperfectly informed victim and a perfectly informed defendant. I compare a two-agent game and a three-agent extension where the victim can hire a lawyer who is perfectly informed but who pursues a selfish objective in his advice.
