Alternative dispute resolution provider JAMS added a retired judge from Florida's Fourth District Court of Appeal to its panel in Miami.

Dorian K. Damoorgian will serve as an arbitrator, mediator and court-appointed neutral and a neutral evaluator for JAMS, the organization announced Monday. He will handle business and commercial, real estate and real property, construction, employment and class action and mass torts disputes.

"As a trial judge, of course, cases would go away, and it was usually because of effective mediation or obviously arbitration would usually be something either the parties agreed to voluntarily or it was baked into their agreement that might be subject to the dispute," Damoorgian said in an interview with Law360 Pulse Tuesday. "So I noticed that it was a cost-effective way and in terms of time to resolve disputes. So I thought, 'Well, I want to stay active and continue with the process,' and this was the best way to do it."
