Benefits:

Arbitration has become one of the most lucrative practice areas in recent years. It is seen as an efficient and simplified manner to resolve civil lawsuits. Many contracts now require that disputes be arbitrated rather than tried to a traditional jury. There has been a significant and remarkable shift as courts and practitioners that once shunned arbitration have heralded the ease, transparency, and economic savings that arbitration affords to advocates and their clients. The rising popularity of arbitration can also be explained by the rapid increase of caseloads of courts, cost savings compared to traditional litigation, a preference for confidentiality, and the desire of many parties and counsel to play a greater role in selecting the individual(s) who will resolve their dispute. This seminar offers rare insight from the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, the American Arbitration Association, and a leading arbitrator. The nationally recognized seminar faculty will discuss best practices to resolve disputes, effective methods to advantage clients, forum, discovery, appeals, enforcing & vacating awards, and experience from AAA insiders. Registration includes online access to written course and reference materials that serve as a helpful guide to the numerous topics and techniques discussed in the program.
