In this podcast celebrating the AAA-ICDR as sponsor of the Section’s Spring Conference, Ingeuneal Gray and Jeffrey Zaino anchor to the Conference’s theme, ADR in a New World.

In candid dialogue, they speak on topics including concerns about lack of diversity and inclusion (D&I) in the ADR field, definitions on diversity, and how arbitral institutions have led the charges for cognizable change in the practice. Jeffrey Z also spills the tea on the Jay-Z case and how bad press cannot (and will not) stymie the work of institutions to buttress party autonomy with optionality in the ADR process. As Lincoln once said, “I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.” Let’s continue forward: there’s more work to do.
