ADRSK Comprehensive Arbitration Primer

The ADR Institute of Saskatchewan presents a Comprehensive Arbitration Primer program, Tuesday March 25, 2014, in Regina. This program is specifically designed for those who are making the move from litigation toward arbitration, or considering how they can help their clients on that path.

Jim McCartney, LL.B., C.Med, C.Arb, together with a senior arbitrator, arbitration counsel and client-user of arbitration will present this comprehensive,  information packed program that takes you through the phases and stages of an arbitration in chronological order, just as it unfolds in reality, from decision to arbitrate to the final award and all the thorny issues in between.
