Description
Today, arbitration seems to be facing challenges from multiple directions that could well impact its future in significant ways. A panel of distinguished leaders in the field will examine the issues and suggest what can be done to deal with these challenges from the perspectives of practicing arbitrators, lawyers representing parties in arbitration and academics. Topics to be discussed are:
- Enforceability of pre-dispute agreements or court-mandated arbitration (and mediation)
- Apparent increasing reluctance of lawyers to recommend the use of arbitration rather than litigation
- Resistance in some state legislatures to adopt the Revised Uniform Arbitration Act
- Potential impacts from enactment of the Federal Arbitration Fairness Act
