ADR Section to feature
American Arbitration Association leaders


The Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the State Bar of Michigan will host a special virtual Lunch & Learn featuring leaders from the American Arbitration Association. “Practice Insights for ADR Professionals” will take place online Monday, August 24, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.

This interactive program will offer practical insight into AAA administration, trends in arbitration and mediation, effective advocacy in ADR proceedings, and what neutrals and advocates should know when working with the AAA.

The discussion will explore case management, arbitrator and mediator selection, party expectations, best practices for efficient proceedings, and emerging developments across AAA practice areas – including new technologies to support ADR processes. Attendees will have an opportunity to hear directly from AAA leadership and gain a better understanding of how to navigate the process from both the advocate and neutral perspectives.

Participating in the discussion will be AAA’s Cassie Lively, vice president, Employment Division; Aaron Schmidt, vice president, Labor Division; and Lise Prisarojn, mediation director.  

The program will be moderated by Lisa W. Timmons, AAA arbitrator and mediator and immediate past chair of the ADR Section of the State Bar of Michigan.
