When Should You Choose JAMS, AAA or CPR Rules?

Liz Kramer at Arbitration Nation has written a helpful blog post entitled ArbitrationNation Roadmap: When Should You Choose JAMS, AAA or CPR Rules?.  In the post, Ms. Kramer discusses how best to decide which arbitration rules should be used for a particular commercial arbitration clause based upon the specific needs of the parties.  She also provides readers with a brief comparison between the American Arbitration Association (AAA), the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (CPR), and JAMS.  According to Ms. Kramer, all three organizations are quite similar.  Still, differences in filing fees, discovery and motion rules, award deadlines, the availability of default awards, and the selection of arbitrators do exist and should always be considered when drafting an arbitration clause.  We highly recommend you read Ms. Kramer’s valuable post!
