Client Reception & Open House

Three esteemed panelists, with more than 20 years each with JAMS, will be retiring this fall. We say farewell to Judge Robert Peterson, Judge Robert Doran and Judge Gerard Shellan and wish them well in retirement.  

Our Resolution Center makeover includes new furnishings, 1,900 more square feet and 3 more conference rooms, allowing us to accommodate the demand we have had over the years for more space.  We hope you can come see our new space and celebrate the many exciting things we have going on in JAMS Seattle!
