Critical Practice Pointers and Case Law Developments Surrounding Mixed and Morphed Mediation-Arbitration Processes.
The MSBA ADR Section and the Maine Association of Mediators presented this program on Thursday, February 6, 2014 with the schedule including an in-depth discussion about process shifts and ADR contract clauses resulting situations where a mediator for an ADR process morphs into an arbitrator for that very same process, or vice versa.
Hear more about the Law Court’s decision in Anderson v. Banks from the ADR professional directly involved with the case, and learn about the case’s potential significance for your legal and/or ADR practice and clients.
Receive a legal briefing on related case law from Maine and across the country.
Acquire skills to inform and effectively counsel your clients about the benefits and risks of having a neutral or fact-finder shift roles before, during or after an ADR process.
