News and Updates
Panelist Utilization Report
A recent highlight is our Panelist Utilization Report, which is a resource provided to clients, in-house and outside counsel, and DE&I officers to help them measure their utilization of JAMS panelists. The report, which can be customized by date, practice area and ADR type, can help them enhance existing or create new DE&I initiatives.
