Analytical Mediation: Fitting the Process to the Needs of the Client The Task Force on Improvement of Mediation Quality reported that mediation users expect mediators to fully engage: to prepare for mediations, to customize the process to fit the particular case, to utilize analytical techniques regarding merits and bargaining issues, and to remain engaged after a session that does not resolve a case. This half-day program will use lectures, Q&A, videos, live demonstrations, and brief role plays to demonstrate how mediators and counsel can use these techniques consistent with high quality techniques. (This program includes lunch.) Speakers: Registration Fees ***** Panelists will explore the ability of parties to manage and plan for certain issues through an arbitration agreement. Examples of the questions to be addressed are: can parties contract around arbitration or civil procedure rules, decide who will decide the arbitrability of particular types of claims or set the scope of review that a court will have over challenges to arbitration awards? Knowing the answers to these questions can be critical when drafting the arbitration agreement and for the scope and strategy once the arbitration is underway. Panelists: Registration Fees ***** The College of Commercial Arbitrators convened a National Summit on Business-to-Business Arbitration in Washington DC in October of 2009 to address and discuss the recent trend toward lengthy, costly arbitration results as perceived by invitees who were business users, in-house counsel, arbitration service providers, outside counsel and arbitrators. The results of the Summit have been combined into a set of protocols which contain suggestions to improve commercial arbitration, and these protocols will be discussed by four fellows of the College of Commercial Arbitrators. Panelists: Registration Fees ***** Come meet and network with Section Council Members and other leaders in the Alternative Dispute Resolution field. To RSVP for the Section Reception, please email Jo Waugh at waughjos@staff.abanet.org by CLE INFORMATION
