Presented by the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association
CLE Credit Available
Join JAMS neutrals Shirish Gupta, Marc Alan Fong, Esq., Judge Dean S. Lum (Ret.), and Chris M. Kwok, Esq. at the 2024 NAPABA Convention. The NAPABA Convention is an annual gathering of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) attorneys, judges, law professors, and law students, bringing meaningful insights, networking opportunities, and perspective to the legal community.
Alternative Dispute Resolution is a critical segment of the legal industry that is increasing in importance in today's world. While there are tremendous opportunities in the field, the AANHPI community has been highly underrepresented within it. Systemic barriers are part of the problem. Compounding the problem is the lack of clear pathways to entry, even for the most motivated and qualified candidates. Join a panel of successful ADR professionals as they discuss their respective journeys into the field, what it takes to build and manage a dispute resolution practice, barriers to entry and the latest developments in increasing diversity in ADR.
JAMS Speakers:
- Chris M. Kwok, Esq. - Mediator & Arbitrator
- Melissa Lelaind - Vice President, Operations
