Mediation and Arbitration- Showcasing 'The Delaware Way' at Its Finest

Delaware Lawyer, Volume 42 Issue 2

"...Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has gained an important role in the Delaware judicial system and Delaware has taken a leading role in the country in ADR, first in its devotion of resources to court-mandated arbitration and, more recently, mediation." 

This article provides a brief history of ADR in Delaware and suggests how "The Delaware Way" may have influenced the development of ADR.  For those who serve as ADR professionals and/or serve as Delaware and non-Delaware counsel in mediations or arbitrations, the hope is that "The Delaware Way" will be a guiding force that brings people together "without incident".
