Since its inception, NYCLA has been at the forefront of most legal debates in the country. We have provided legal education for more than 40 years.
This training will be for people interested in volunteering for the Part 137 Fee Dispute programs in the following parts of NYS: 1st and 12th judicial districts (NYCLA program); 2nd Judicial district (Brooklyn Bar Association program); 11th Judicial District (Queens program); 13th Judicial District (Richmond County Bar Association Program).
The training will consist of lectures, discussions as well as MANDATORY ROLE PLAY EXERCISES, where attendees’ cameras and sound MUST be turned on
Join us for a full day training session to learn what you need to know to become a Part 137 Fee Dispute Arbitrator.
Topics include:
PLEASE NOTE: attorneys and non-attorneys with experience may apply for the program, BUT attorney applicants must be admitted to the New York Bar for at least 5 years.
If you intend to apply to volunteer for a local program, once your registration is confirmed, you must submit your resume or bio to feedispute@nycourts.gov.
The Board of Governors must approve all neutrals to arbitrate for the program. Attending this program is not a guarantee that you will be accepted to volunteer for the program.
When considering which program you would like to volunteer for, check the local program‘s rules to determine whether you meet the local program requirements.
