Construction and commercial practitioners regularly employ
mediation and arbitration in the course of resolving disputes. Although
multi-step dispute resolution provisions are widely used, our experience
suggests that often, other ways of “mixing modes” may often be more effective.
In this highly interactive program, Prof. Tom Stipanowich, experienced JAMS
arbitrator and mediator and long-time director of Pepperdine’s famed Straus
Institute for Dispute Resolution, will engage participants in a series of
reality-based scenarios that explore key questions such as: When and how can
early mediation be effective? How can arbitrators help “set the stage” for
settlement? When, if ever, might it be appropriate for a neutral to change
hats in the course of resolving a dispute? What new tools and insights
have come out of the recent work of the Task Force on Mixed Mode Dispute
Resolution?
This CLE is approved for credit through May
12, 2024.
