The Conclusion: Jack Levin’s Party Autonomy Principles Safeguard Arbitration Effectiveness
The Part 6 concluding episode of our CPR YouTube Channel discussion with NYC arbitrator and mediator Jack Levin looks back-and ahead-on guaranteeing party autonomy in arbitration. All six parts are available here on CPR Speaks and on YouTube @CPRInstituteOnline--https://bit.ly/45xbzpF.
By exercising control over the process, the adversaries are more likely to get a more positive resolution both sides can work with.
By working with the arbitral tribunal, the parties enhance their control.
Levin suggests that strong arbitrating means no surprises for anyone: “Your experience, including the mistakes, will inform you as to what’s a good process going forward—no matter what you’re in,” he says in the just-posted episode.
This CPR YouTube Channel series on party autonomy in ADR seeks to make it a centerpiece—not a byproduct—of mediation and arbitration. Ensuring that you maximize your ADR process control will yield better outcomes than in court, where party autonomy is incidental at best.
