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 this podcast, JAMS neutrals Hon. Wynne S. Carvill (Ret.) and Robin H. Gise, Esq., explore the factors that contribute to a successful mediation and the pitfalls that can impede the dispute resolution process. To start, they share their thoughts on the importance of timing and the exchange of information to help support the flow of mediation and then discuss the importance of managing unrealistic expectations and articulating proper risk assessment. Judge Carvill and Ms. Gise also exchange views on common assumptions made—sometimes incorrectly— by parties about mediation and the counteroffer process. The neutrals conclude with high-level insights on the “bigger picture” of the mediation process and avenues for moving the focal point away from just the desired dollar amount.
Juneteenth is a federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. In 2021, Juneteenth was recognized as a federal holiday when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. At JAMS, we observe the holiday by commemorating African American freedom, focusing on the education of Black history and honoring the achievements and contributions of African Americans. It is a day to reflect, rejoice and remember.
