JAMS is steadfast in pursuing increased diversity among ADR practitioners.We recognize the benefits of recruiting and retaining the most qualified ADR professionals inclusive of varied ethnicity, race, gender, religion and sexual orientation.
This diverse panel of retired judges will explore implicit bias and offer a resource for testing your own biases—the Implicit Association Test (IAT)—before moving on to a discussion of the Batson standard, including legal challenges based on the standard in ADR proceedings.
