The MSBA's ADR Section Presents

"Jim Coben on the Limitations of American ADR as an Export Product"

U.S. attempts to spread its ADR approach have met resistance and dissatisfaction. Learn how our thinking about dispute resolution just doesn't fit in other cultures; and learn what that means for our own local practices. Also, learn how ADR in big cases, such as 9/11, has raised questions about the risks of unbridled mediator power.
