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.

Many lawyers and litigants have the misconception that the parties do not have enough information to settle early in the litigation (or pre-litigation) and therefore consider mediation only on the eve of summary judgment or trial. As a former commercial litigator, I once shared the misguided idea that for many cases, some amount of litigation and expense was necessary before the parties could settle.
Authentic persuasion is a valuable advocacy skill in almost any setting. We all intuitively understand that effective advocacy can make a critical difference when speaking to groups both large and small, arguing in a courtroom or dealmaking. The value of genuine persuasion is perhaps a bit less obvious during a mediation. Mediation best practices today limit direct, adversarial confrontations, and mediation participants tend to focus on their negotiating strategies and “the numbers.” But it is a mistake to shortchange effective mediation advocacy. Authentic persuasion matters enormously in mediation, and all participants would be well served to hone this craft.
Each year on April 9, the United States honors one of history’s most enduring leaders—Winston Churchill—through National Winston Churchill Day. This date marks the moment in 1963 when President John F. Kennedy, by act of Congress, granted Churchill honorary U.S. citizenship, making him the first person to receive such a distinction. It was a symbolic gesture acknowledging not only his pivotal role in shaping the modern world, but also the unyielding spirit he embodied in the darkest days of World War II.
