Questions For Discussion
    • The arbitration clause does not cover the claim against my client. How should I object to the arbitrator’s jurisdiction?
    • The arbitration pleading does not state a legally cognizable claim against my client. Can I move to dismiss it?
    • The opposing party has not produced the documents I need. How should I raise discovery disputes with the arbitrator?
    • If the case were in court, I would move for summary judgment following fact discovery. Can I do that in arbitration?
    • Opposing counsel has a conflict of interest.  Can I ask the arbitrator to disqualify my adversary?
    • The opposing party failed to obey the arbitrator’s discovery order. Will the arbitrator entertain my motion for sanctions?  

This program will include optional audience participation in a Q&A with panelists.
