Join this webinar as Mr. Byrne discusses the unique issues attendant to confronting and addressing insurance coverage disputes – with particular attention paid to the practical benefits of resolving these disputes via mediation.

Attorneys and litigants must come to understand that courthouse life in the post-pandemic world will only serve to exacerbate the problems of our historically overburdened matrimonial parts.

During these unprecedented times, drastic budget cut backs in the courts leave many parties struggling with discovery conundrums without court assistance. So who do you call? The e-mediator!

Although mediation resolves most disputes, some mediations end in impasse. Such disappointments can usually be avoided and positive resolutions achieved when advocates are armed with knowledge of common mediation pitfalls and develop negotiation skills that can enhanced mediation outcomes.

The high cost of litigation, as well as the reality that most civil litigation, resolved prior to trial, has made mediation of civil matters more prevalent. Combined with the increase in court-mandated mediation and court-annexed alternative dispute resolution programs, mediation has become a fact of life for litigators and parties alike. Knowing the keys to a successful mediation, therefore, is essential for any litigator.

Join Judge Weinstein in a panel discussion that will address how to successfully execute virtual mediations and depositions while keeping up with the ever changing realities of operating a civil practice during these unprecedented times in today's world.

Judge Ingram will provide an overview of admiralty law that will benefit both the novice and seasoned practitioners. Identification of certain types of disputes where Alternative Dispute Resolution can be beneficial will also be discussed, as well as how the use of ADR can be effective in the resolution of disputes involving maritime law.

For decades, mediation had been partially virtual with phone and video participation by some parties and claims personnel. Is that process now up to the challenges of almost no in person participation? Can the technology adapt fast enough and satisfy the consumers of dispute resolution services? Is ADR, for better or worse, now the only game in town?
