On May 4, the Illinois Association of Defense Trial Counsel presented a CLE program entitled, “How Am I Going to Settle This Case?”  As part of that program, Adam C. Carter moderated a panel discussion on “Alternative Dispute Resolution” in which a panel of judges and mediators discussed lesser-known methods of alternative dispute resolution including summary trials, commercial arbitrations, and mandatory federal appeals mediations, and also gave helpful tips on working to settle cases using third parties.
