With nearly 99% of federal civil cases now resolving before trial, the ability to navigate a successful mediation is an essential skill of any modern litigator. On Wednesday, May 20, from 1 to 6 p.m. at the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse in Detroit, the Eastern District of Michigan Bar Association (EDMIBAR) is hosting a program titled “Mediation Best Practices–a Forum for the E.D. Michigan’s Mediators, Trial Lawyers, and Judges.”
The program planning committee is comprised of experienced and knowledgeable mediators — Tom Cranmer, Tom McNeill, Jennifer Grieco, Denny Barnes, Nakisha Chaney, Patrick Hickey, and Ken Neuman. They will be joined by current and former U.S. District Court judges of the Eastern District of Michigan, including featuring leading mediators from JAMS Detroit Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services, and national mediators and experts.
This seminar will provide an opportunity for attorneys to network with the bench and help shape the evolving conversation on local and national ADR practices.
The program will begin with opening remarks by U.S. District Court Chief Judge Stephen Murphy followed by four segments:
• Segment 1: “Federal Court Mediation: How Judges and Mediators Can More Efficiently Achieve the Early Resolution of Disputes,” with presentation team U.S. District Court Judges Matthew Leitman and Judith Levy, retired Judge Sean Cox, Patrick Hickey, and Tom McNeill, co-moderated by retired Judge Gerald Rosen and Thomas Cranmer,
