Using the ADR toolbox to repair mass torts

Article Abstract:

The American Arbitration Ass'n commissioned a task force to study the role of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in resolving suits, and a nationally known mediator, Kenneth R Feinberg, who served as trustee for the Dalkon Shield Claimants Trust and court-appointed special master in the Agent Orange product-liability litigation, became the chairman. Other national ADR organizations have also given thought to the use of ADR in mass tort suits. The American Arbitration Ass'n Task Force on Alternative Dispute Resolution and Mass Torts published its recommendations in 1997.
