Part IV of CLE series on Nonbinding Arbitrations: Nonbinding Arbitration in Florida: A Colloquy between Bench and Bar. Join us for a lively discussion with members of the Bench and Bar concerning one of the most under-utilized ADR processes in Florida – Nonbinding Arbitration.
In this seminar, participants will hear from judges about:
• Why and when NBA is the ADR method of choice from the bench’s perspective
• Why approximately half of the judicial circuits in Florida tend not to use NBA
• Whether judges favor the use of the “hybrid process” of ordering NBA followed by mediation (with a different neutral) and the reasons why or why not
• The greatest advantage of NBA from the court’s point of view
• The greatest disadvantage of NBA from the bar’s point of view
• How does the bench respond to party requests to transform an Order for non-binding arbitration into an order for voluntary binding arbitration
