Arbitration Advocacy, Third Edition

As litigation grows increasingly expensive, more and more clients opt for the less costly and less formal arbitration process. This completely revised guide takes you through the entire arbitration process, from the moment a client walks in the door through the decision and award. You will get advice on prehearing advocacy; advocacy at the hearing itself; tactical use of evidence and expert witnesses; effective openings and closing; and post award advocacy. The third edition explores the growing world of remote arbitration, providing both technical and tactical advice and insight. The appendices include helpful checklists as well as resource lists of arbitration services.

• Updated language and organization to increase accessibility and usability
• Updated resource lists
• A remote arbitration advocacy section
• Teaching exercises for each chapter
• Links to relevant online material
