Arbitration Philosophy

---

---

Streamlining the arbitration process is essential, starting with the first preliminary hearing. Along with counsel/parties, Louise establishes:  1) discovery limitations, parameters, electronic disclosures and filings, 2) motion deadlines, including dispositive motions,  3) claw back provisions, 4) communication methods, 5) trial date and length,  6) regular monthly or bimonthly short hearings to address any discovery or other concerns which have arisen.  Expectations are for counsel/parties to meet all deadlines, be forthcoming in discovery, timely raise concern/issues and cooperate to prevent unnecessary continuation of the original trial date.
