The Role and Implementation of
Court-Appointed Neutrals
Tuesday, July 30, 2024
3 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Format: Zoom
Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the role of court-appointed neutrals in the judicial system. We'll discuss the various names and functions of these neutrals, examine their benefits to both the justice system and litigants, and compare the approaches taken by different states, including Indiana and discuss the implementation in Michigan with respect to integration tools into the judicial system without overburdening the courts. We'll discover how broadening these tools can enhance judicial efficiency without substituting the judges' roles. This session is essential for legal professionals interested in innovative solutions to improve case management and dispute resolution.
