The Florida Bar Alternative Dispute Resolution Section’s inaugural Arbitration Advocacy Institute is a one-day, virtual workshop for attorney-arbitrators that will provide coaching on mechanics, technology and professionalism to help Florida attorneys boost their arbitration advocacy skills. Attendees will increase their knowledge of the arbitration process from beginning to end—distinct from mediation and litigation—and participate in virtual clinics for diverse arbitration practice areas.
The institute is a unique opportunity for attorneys to meet an all-star group of more than 30 Florida arbitration professionals. The mentors have volunteered to assist attorneys to develop arbitration advocacy skills so that they can be ethical and effective advocates for their clients in arbitration proceedings. Attorneys will learn that arbitration is everywhere, that arbitration is not litigation, and that understanding the role and opportunities presented by arbitration as an alternative dispute resolution process is an essential part of the practice of law.
