The Power of Choice: Mediator Shortlists & Arbitrator Panels

EXPIRED CLE, but still available for viewing! Originally presented on March 6, 2024, course number 8326 is approved by The Florida Bar until September 30, 2025, for 3.5 General CLE credits. Florida Bar members may self-report credit through their member portals. How diverse is the pool of mediators and arbitrators you work with? National and local panelists reflect on the state of diversity in dispute resolution and the solutions, including the Ray Corollary Initiative's 30% metric for shortlist and panel diversity that is already making a difference. Florida panelists include Christopher Shulman, Jeanne Charles, Dorsey Miller III, Patricia Thompson, Kelly Overstreet Johnson, and Angela Romero. National panelists include Ana Sambold, Chair of the Dispute Resolution Section of the American Bar Association, and Prof. Homer La Rue, Co-founder of the Ray Corollary Initiative. Moderated by Ana Cristina Maldonado of the ADR Section of The Florida Bar. The event was recorded live on March 6, 2024, at Nova Southeastern University's Shepard Broad College of Law. Many thanks to the event's sponsors: Shulman ADR Law, Miami Mediation Group, Moritt Hock & Hamrock, RCI. Particularly to JAMS for making this recording possible.
