International Alternative Dispute Resolution Academy to be Held November 18 – 20 in Chicago

The International Alternative Dispute Resolution Academy is an educational program designed to provide advanced practice and training on arbitration and mediation. Over three days, our expert faculty, consisting of practitioners, mediators, and arbitrators, will lead participants through a combination of interactive discussions and workshops. The program will follow a proven format of demonstration and hands-on practice.

Highlights will include small group sessions on drafting ADR provisions and building a winning case based upon a hypothetical fact pattern. Mock role-playing vignettes will demonstrate how to prepare your client for ADR and how to select a neutral. These interactive sessions will be supported by dynamic presentations such as a live debate between stakeholders regarding the merits and hazards of mediation and arbitration. This intensive and comprehensive program will refine skills that are increasingly impacting all substantive practice areas and part of the necessary repertoire of all masters of advocacy.  For a copy of the program and registration materials, click here here.
