what is arb-med?
it is not a typo. arb-med is a hybrid process that combines mediation + arbitration like med-arb does. it simply reverses the order of the two processes.

does the same person have to do both?
no. med-arb can be designed to have a different person fill the role of mediator + arbitrator. this still maintains several benefits of the hybrid process.

how quickly will med-arb resolve my conflict?
med-arb provides the opportunity to fully resolve your conflict in the mediation phase of the process. if that is done successfully, there is no need for the arbitration phase + conflict closure can be achieved as early as the day your mediation is scheduled.
perhaps the most common misunderstanding about med-arb, however, is the timing of closure if a dispute cannot be fully resolved through mediation.

can you caucus in med-arb?
yes. but it is not that simple. there are occasions where you should not.
in the arbitration component of med-arb, private communications between one party + the arbitrator are inappropriate. they should not take place. this consideration pertains only to the mediation phase of med-arb.
