Litigation, ADR, ODR--The Next Normal?
Wednesday, June 24, 2020, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM CDT
Category: Open Access Virtual Meeting
SESSION DESCRIPTION: The Supreme Court is hearing arguments by phone. Trials and grand jury proceedings are happening in Zoom-land. More disputes are being resolved online than ever. Judges are presiding from home and in sneakers. Warren Buffett famously said, “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.” We have known for years that dispute resolution is too hard, too slow, and too expensive, even for prosperous participants. For everyone else, the burdens are always tedious and often unjust.
Pressured by the pandemic, we’re retooling rapidly. Is this all temporary? Or is it a sea change—no going back?
Our panel: • Jordan Furlong (COLPM Fellow), moderator—author, speaker, analyst, forecaster at Law 21. • Nicole Nehama Auerbach (COLPM Fellow)—litigator, co-founder of pioneering law firms Valorem Law and ElevateNext. • Sohail Mohammed—electrical engineer, New Jersey Superior Court Judge, court innovator and teacher. • Darin Thompson—lawyer, teacher, knowledge engineer for the Civil Resolution Tribunal, British Columbia.
This session is open to the public and will be recorded. A reading list will be provided to all registrants.
