My decades of experience as a practicing attorney, trial judge, appellate judge, court system administrator and academic inform me that the best mediator or arbitrator for a particular dispute is one who has experience litigating or judging similar disputes. Just as we choose doctors for their topical expertise, we should choose neutrals the same way.
Former appellate judges and attorneys who have spent their professional lives observing how cases play out in the real-world courtroom can provide enormous insight and unique understanding of the near and far ramifications. This gives them an in-depth understanding of the issues at play and the issues that need to be overcome to reach a resolution.
