APPLICATION TO JOIN THE ROSTER OF NEUTRALS

Diversity Statement for the Commercial Division ADR Program

The New York County Supreme Court serves a wide variety of litigants, including persons of varying age, race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, religion, socioeconomic and family status. The court’s Commercial Division ADR Program recognizes that neutrals with a wide variety of cultural and life experiences enrich the alternate dispute resolution process by bringing diverse perspectives to resolving disputes. To accomplish these goals, it is important that the Commercial Division ADR Program attract and retain neutrals who represent a range of personal and professional backgrounds who can, thereby, better serve and instill confidence in participants in the alternate dispute resolution process. To that end, qualified applicants of all diverse backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to apply for admission to the Commercial Division ADR Panel.
