Course Description

There are many cases in which alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes are the most effective method to advance your client�s interests. A client�s or an attorney�s willingness to try ADR in lieu of litigation is based on many factors, including cost effectiveness, efficiencies, understanding of ADR processes, confidentiality, preserving relationships, a court�s insistence, past good and bad experiences, the number and nature of interested parties, the timing of the opportunity, and perceptions such as the �weak case� syndrome. In this course, a federal District Court judge and a distinguished panel of in-house and outside counsel, who are also experienced negotiators, discuss why and how you can get clients and counsel to an ADR forum.
