In coordination with the ABA Mediation Week, this CLE will provide information, discussion, and networking to those who are interested in or currently utilizing Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in their work.

We will begin with a presentation on alternative processes that lawyers can use in their careers. Next, a panel of lawyers with a range of different careers will discuss how they incorporate ADR skills and training into their current practices. A networking session will follow to provide law students and new lawyers an opportunity to interact directly with the panelists and other ADR practitioners in attendance.
