Fine-tune Your Strategy
Traditional mediation and arbitration are not the only tools available through JAMS. In some situations other approaches are more appropriate, effective and/or economical. These options, customized for specific organizations, industries and events, can prevent conflicts before they arise or provide more flexible, scalable and creative resolution paths when conflicts do emerge.

In a world rife with conflict—commercial, interpersonal, organizational and beyond—the need for effective dispute resolution has never been greater.
In commercial and construction contracts, arbitration clauses are now the norm. They appear routinely—tucked into the fine print of everything from service agreements to bylaws to multimillion-dollar joint venture deals. These provisions typically require that disputes be submitted to binding arbitration, bypassing the courts entirely.
Sean F. Cox, retired chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, brings decades of judicial insight to his role as a neutral at JAMS. With a calm and pragmatic approach, he fosters resolution through deep listening and creative problem-solving.
