Program Summary
While most trial lawyers are taught in school about advocacy before trial judges and juries, many commercial contracts contain “alternative dispute resolution” provisions which mandate that commercial disputes go first to mediation and then binding arbitration-all outside of the normal legal system. In addition, many judges require that lawsuits be mediated. However, advocacy in both mediations and arbitrations are frequently overlooked. This presentation by an experienced mediator and arbitrator will focus the attendee on mistakes that he often sees and can be avoided to better represent your clients in these ADR proceedings.
This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.
Key topics to be discussed:
- How to choose the right mediator and arbitrator
- How to best prepare for mediation and arbitration to get the best results for your client
- Boneheaded mistakes that lawyers make in arbitrations and mediations
