Increasing the selection of diverse arbitrators, mediators, and other ADR neutrals requires a real commitment from those doing the selection, and an awareness by them of the benefits of selecting diverse neutrals. In this webinar, Professor Homer C. LaRue of Howard University School of Law will present the Ray Corollary Initiative, a detailed plan of action to increase the number of diverse persons selected as arbitrators and mediators. Professor LaRue will then be joined by a panel of corporate counsel for an honest and thoughtful discussion of the benefits and challenges of selecting diverse neutrals, and why diversity matters in ADR.
Presenters include:
• Professor Homer C. LaRue, Howard University School of Law
• Christopher M. Campbell, Senior Counsel, Litigation, Baker Hughes
• Brook Gardiner, SVP, General Counsel, MLS NEXT Pro
• Effie D. Silva, SVP, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary, Fresh Del Monte Produce
