Description

Most cases never get to trial or arbitration. Instead they will settle or be dismissed on motions. Of the approximately 75% of cases that will settle, in most there is little benefit to incurring significant fees and investing time in lengthy discovery prior to resolving the dispute. Early Dispute Resolution is a documented 4 step process that when followed can result in resolution of a dispute within 60 days of the dispute's arising or the parties determining that they cannot resolve it themselves. The presenters co-chair the ABA Dispute Resolution Section's Committee on Early dispute Resolution and are the drafters of the published EDR protocols.
