Join the chair of the Trial Court’s Standing Committee on Dispute Resolution,
the new chair of the Superior Court ADR Committee, trial judges and litigators
for an open bench/bar discussion about how ADR techniques -- particularly
mediation -- can help attorneys increase income and save clients money. In
addition, panelists will provide alternatives for dispute resolution in a
time of crowded dockets and backed-up/closed trial sessions. Discussion
topics include:
- What are the ADR options available for my pending case and how can I
access mediation?
- How attorneys can build ADR into their courthouse practices;
- Views about the mediation experience of the Plaintiffs’ and Defendants’
Bar;
- Why some trial judges favor mediation, and why others do not; and
- How trial judges can promote ADR, particularly medication, for every
pending case.
