Successfully Resolving Your Clients' Legal Problems: Choosing the Right Model - LIVE WEBCAST

Program Description:

Over the last several decades, alternative methods for addressing conflicts among private citizens have received increasing attention. This movement has been driven by a number of factors inherent in the public court system: (1) delays, (2) expense, (3) formality, and (4) uncertainty. As a result, alternatives to the public court system continue to develop. This program examines the various forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that have been most successful and that offer the most promise. Attorneys will benefit from understanding these alternatives, and will learn:

How to prepare for the various kinds of ADR;
How they work and when they are viable;
How to counsel clients on each kind; and
How to use them successfully.
