Ethics approval has been sought and received from the responsible agency in the editor's home jurisdiction. Our searchable List will provide basic information about our panel of ADR advocates and neutrals. I take considerable pride of association in this List. I know many of these panelists personally and commend each of them to you. However, be aware that we are on the honor system with our listings and that we cannot, practically speaking, certify or warrant the competence or experience of any lawyer on the List.
Mistakes can occur and circumstances do change.
Thus, you should, as with the selection of any lawyer, use due care and diligence to determine the training and experience of any lawyer whose retention is being considered. I suggest that you use the List for basic contact information. Then, I suggest that you call the lawyer's office to request detailed curriculum vitae. Finally, you may wish to interview the lawyer about the specifics of the proposed assignment in the context or his or her professional competence and experience. I invite you to examine the List and share you comments personally with me.
