Description:

Learn what arbitrators look for in the structure of your arbitration demand and response.

Many litigations are much more comfortable in court than in arbitration, but more and more cases are resolved in arbitration. This topic, created by a seasoned arbitrator, presents the results of multiple interviews with arbitrators who are asked to provide tips to advocates in arbitration.

Included in the explanation will be how to structure the arbitration demand and response, how to make the most of the management conference, understanding the process between the management conference and the final hearing, and how to be most effective at the final hearing. You should emerge with a clear understanding what arbitrators believe to be the most effective ways for advocates to present their case.
