Traditional mediation and arbitration are not the only tools available through JAMS. In some situations other approaches are more appropriate, effective and/or economical. These options, customized for specific organizations, industries and events, can prevent conflicts before they arise or provide more flexible, scalable and creative resolution paths when conflicts do emerge.

In this podcast, JAMS neutrals Judge Nancy L. Allf (Ret.) and Kim M. Keenan, Esq., discuss how attorneys can maximize mediation. The conversation centers on the importance of thoughtfulness and strategy in mediation, with both neutrals emphasizing the need for effective negotiation strategies and understanding the parties' emotions and perspectives.
With decades of legal experience, including nearly 18 years as a judge on the King County Superior Court, Judge Richard McDermott (Ret.) brings a deep understanding of the law and a mindful approach to alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Judge McDermott emphasizes the importance of being flexible, noting that different mediators' styles are better suited to different types of claims and individuals. He believes that creating a relaxed and open environment allows people to speak more freely, which is crucial in mediation.
