Description

In the past 15 years, states and cities have been creating new business courts and specialized commercial litigation dockets at an accelerating pace. Commercial litigators have seen how these courts and dockets have greatly reduced litigation costs and case disposition times, while at the same time increasing the predictability of court decisions and level of client satisfaction.

Nevertheless, almost every time a new business court or specialized docket has been proposed, it has been met with opposition and wrongly labeled as being "elitist" or unfairly favoring "big business." These myths are easily debunked by the facts and the experiences of those involved with any of our new courts or dockets.

This online course features some of the leading national authorities on the development of business courts and specialized litigation dockets. In addition to addressing the recent acceptance and success of these commercial litigation programs, the panel offers practical advice to lawyers and judges interested in creating such programs in their respective jurisdictions.

The panel also addresses the differences between these specialized commercial litigation programs and more generalized complex litigation programs that some jurisdictions have adopted.
