Done

All: As you are reviewing each other's examples and thinking about the various methods of ADR, I think we'll see that there may be some examples that will be better suited for one type of ADR over another.

So, here's a case that I encountered a few years ago in my civil practice: I worked on a case that involved various aspects of construction of an elementary school.  There were lots of parties involved (the school, the general contractor, several sub contractors, the architect/other design firms, etc.) and lots of issues raised (performance, payment, design defect claims).  This project was in Arizona - and the Arizona Revised Statutes have very specific provisions related to construction and a relatively new statute called the Prompt Payment Act.

All:  Given the complexity and variety of the legal issues as well as the numerous claims, counterclaims, and cross-claims amongst the parties in this case, what ADR method would you have recommended?  Would this change if your client was the school vs. the architect vs. the sub-contractor?
