Targeted Arbitration 

02-06-2017 03:27 PM

Article originally published in New Jersey Family Lawyer Vol. 37, No. 4/February 2017 How many times is a case stalled by one or two limited issues or problems? How many times have you found that a discreet discovery issue stops the case dead in its tracks? The kneejerk reaction is to file a motion. However, aside from the substantial time and money associated with motion practice, there is often a lack of finite resolution to these vexing obstacles that ultimately do not allow the case to move forward in a productive fashion. As we all know, there are times when litigants and/or counsel have trepidation about arbitrating all issues in a case. However, the concerns with arbitration of a family law matter may be assuaged if the arbitration is relegated to limited issues. The author suggests that parties are free to engage in targeted arbitration of discreet issues that may be impeding the progress of the case.1 Download to read more.
