During the pre-mediation conference call, the following considerations will likely be discussed: the nature of the dispute and the status of any pending litigation; the names of those who will be attending the mediation from both sides; whether a joint opening session would be productive; and the content of the pre-mediation submissions and whether they will be exchanged.
I want to express our firm’s appreciation to ADR Systems for providing us with an outstanding CLE program. I received numerous positive comments from our partners; everyone thought that the Hon. F. Keith Brown and Stuart A. Nudelman provided us with useful and interesting insights. I think that our Chicago partners (and anyone else who might do a mediation in Chicago) would be delighted with any of them as a mediator or arbitrator.
