By Richard H. Silberberg & Anthony P. Badaracco - Mixed-mode dispute resolution is becoming more common as parties endeavor to structure processes that provide optimal (and sometimes multiple) opportunities to resolve disputes. There are many different ways to structure mixed-mode dispute resolution processes.
