Background and Education
Gerald E. Rosen, Retired Chief Judge, US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, joined JAMS in 2017 following nearly 27 years of distinguished service on the federal bench. Since coming to JAMS, the Judge’s practice has focused on mediation, arbitration, and neutral evaluation of complex business/commercial disputes, complex domestic and international intellectual property disputes, Multi-District Litigation (MDL) and class action matters, False Claims Act litigation, as well as anti-trust and consumer cases. While on the bench, Judge had wide experience in facilitating settlements. Notably, he served as the Chief Judicial Mediator for the Detroit Bankruptcy case—the largest, most complex municipal bankruptcy in our nation’s history—which resulted in an agreed upon, consensual plan of adjustment in just 17 months. Prior to taking the bench, Judge Rosen was a Senior Partner at the law firm of Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone where he was a trial lawyer specializing in commercial, employment and constitutional litigation.

Counsel Comments
"Judge Rosen was indispensable and critical to the successful conclusion of the case. He and his fellow mediators were heroic in their commitment of time and effort in the entire process." - Detroit Bankruptcy Counsel
"[Y]ou demonstrate[d] a keen sense of how to get parties moving together and closing deals." - Financial Creditor Party, Detroit Bankruptcy
“We observed [Rosen’s] remarkable skill as a mediator; his tenacity and perseverance under incredibly trying circumstances; and his great personal sacrifices, which included many long hours and making himself available at any time and on short notice. This was a herculean effort, and without [his] steady hand and calm under pressure, the settlement would not have been achieved.”
– Detroit Bankruptcy Creditor Counsel
“Each successful case needs someone to step into the breach…, do whatever needs to be done and take on the case as if the entire success of the case rests on his or her shoulders. This is how I think of the job you did.”
– Financial Creditor Party, Detroit Bankruptcy
