Tri-panel arbitrations consist of three arbitrators, rather than one. Usually, each side appoints one arbitrator and a neutral arbitrator is selected for the third arbitrator. In personal injury cases, arbitrators from ADR Systems can only serve as the neutral arbitrator. Arbitrators from ADR Systems cannot serve as party arbitrators.
Judge Burke successfully mediated a complicated case with little chance of being resolved. He read every word of the parties' submissions, asked astute questions, and worked hard to find a path to resolution. Judge Burke communicated with the parties themselves - so that they felt they were important participants in working toward resolution. The case I thought was never going to settle, settled.
