You could have the greatest case, but if you don’t present it effectively to the arbitration panel, you might not attain the results you want—or that your client needs. Particularly when the stakes are high, consider using a mock arbitration panel. Convening a mock panel helps to counter “group think”—the overwhelming feeling the team working on a case has that the case is great and your client will win. Going outside your comfort group to hear objective feedback regarding your presentation can be an enlightening experience and can help improve your chances of actually winning.
A mock arbitration panel performs multiple roles: critic, fact-finder and consultant. In critiquing your case, mock arbitrators can provide you with valuable feedback about presentation strategy, briefs, oral arguments and demonstratives, for example. As fact-finders, the arbitrators provide their impressions of the key facts and the merits. And once the panel has reached its decision, the mock arbitrators don their consultant hats to provide you with feedback regarding a variety of issues that might affect the outcome of your case.
