2. In Suit - court ordered, non-binding arbitration is mandated by most courts for complex litigation Iike medical malpractice cases; and, may also be contained as part of the circuit court’s case management order. Richard has experience in these proceedings and can sit as the medical malpractice arbitrator to hear the evidence and render a written decision, to be supplied to the court (if required).
