Making the Move: Best Practices, Ethics & Tips to Transition to ADR

Transitioning to Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) can be a rewarding career change, but it requires a unique set of skills and ethical considerations distinct from those in judging or lawyering. This program is designed to help you determine if ADR is the right path for you and to guide you through the transition process.

Join us to explore:

  • The key differences between ADR and traditional legal roles
  • How to evaluate if a career in ADR aligns with your professional goals
  • Various pathways to establishing a practice in arbitration, mediation, court-appointed neutral work, hearing examiner roles, or as an ombuds
  • Practical steps to successfully transition into the ADR field
  • Common challenges faced during the transition and expert tips to overcome them
  • Ethical dilemmas unique to mediation and arbitration and how to navigate them

Gain insights from experienced panelists who have successfully made the switch and learn how to make your transition to ADR smooth and successful.

Moderator:
