MED-ARB: Dream or Nightmare
Speaker
Ron Kelly
The California Court of Appeals has upheld a "binding mediation” process in both the Bowers and Lindsay decisions. Seriously?
For more than twenty years Ron Kelly has campaigned hard in the Legislature against the concept of "binding mediation". He played a central role in enacting numerous statutes protecting parties from coerced settlements in mediation. In 1997, he helped introduce legislation that would have clearly regulated a mediation/arbitration process.
The first med/arb Ron conducted twenty-five years ago was a farce. Yet over the years, he was repeatedly asked to serve as both mediator and arbitrator in the same dispute. Ron eventually found that a carefully conducted and specialized form of med/arb provided major benefits with minimal risks. He now recommends it to nearly all his clients.
Can you really ethically combine mediation and arbitration? Should you? Join us for a lively discussion of the serious hazards of med/arb, and the ways Ron believes you may be able to offer your clients the best of both worlds.
