Alternative dispute resolution provider JAMS has added to its ranks in the Philadelphia office a former U.S. magistrate judge who moved his practice after four years with Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads LLP. 

Retired U.S. Magistrate Judge Joel Schneider has been welcomed this week to JAMS' Philadelphia resolution center as an arbitrator and mediator, the company announced Thursday. Judge Schneider told Law360 Pulse in an interview Friday that he was eager for the opportunity to work alongside the impressive bench of former judges that are part of JAMS' Philadelphia center.

"I've always considered JAMS one of the premier ADR practitioners. As I wind down my career, I wanted to be associated with people I've respected for the longest time. They have all been terrific and welcoming toward me and afford me every courtesy."
