Description

Inside the Minds: Alternative Dispute Resolution is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the essentials behind the successful practice of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and the future of this legal discipline on a nationwide scale. Featuring Department Heads, Group Chairs, and Leading Partners, all representing some of the nation's top firms, this book provides a broad, yet comprehensive overview of this dynamic practice area, discussing the current shape and future state of both mediation and arbitration, domestic and international alike, from the founding doctrines, to the pivotal cases of today. With a detailed explanation of the key differences between arbitration and mediation, identifying the benefits and risks of each area, along with the types of cases to which the disciplines lend themselves best, these authorities articulate the finer points around ADR now, and what will hold true into the future. From the steps involved in preparing for a case, including counseling clients, selecting an arbitrator or mediator, and handling negotiations, to tactics around keeping up to date with the ever-changing laws, these authors offer practical and adaptable strategies to effectively resolve disputes outside of traditional litigation. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today as experts offer up their thoughts around the keys to success within this ever-evolving practice area.
