ADR: More Dog, Less Tail?
Co-contributor Marc has launched a new blawg: California Mediation and Arbitration at http://www.calmediation.org.
The purpose of this blawg is to provide a current and ongoing discussion of California case law and developments concerning mediation and arbitration — the two most common varieties of “alternative dispute resolution” (ADR). This new blawg is a natural offshoot of Marc’s work on CalAttorneysFees, to which he is a co-contributor, along with his long-time colleague Mike Hensley. As the Mission Statement of CalAttorneysFees notes, attorney’s fees are often (too often) the “tail that wags the dog” of litigation. ADR is an alternative that at its best is more efficient and economical, and less painful than a lawsuit. Marc, who will also be applying his experience as a civil litigator to providing mediation services, invites your comments and input. You are invited to visit the new blawg.
