Discussion Topics

Getting to the Evidentiary Hearing: Preliminary Hearing, Scheduling Order, Information Exchange, and Motion Practice 
Discussion at the preliminary hearing and the resulting scheduling order (PO-1) will shape the entire case. What is the proper scope of the preliminary hearing—just setting dates or fulsome discussion of the case? How much authority should the arbitrator(s) exercise balance of party autonomy against economy/efficiency? Setting the case schedule is a core task: when will the evidentiary hearing be held? How long? Where/ how? What about information exchange? Limited to document exchange? Depositions? Experts? What about non-party witnesses? When are motions appropriate? What about dispositive motions? Generally, what are best practices to serve the goals of efficiency, economy, and fairness?
