The American Arbitration Association-International Centre for Dispute Resolution® (AAA-ICDR®), a leading provider of alternative dispute resolution services, has announced an innovative partnership with Clearbrief, a legal tech company, to provide their award-winning, AI-powered writing platform to the AAA-ICDR’s panel of 5,500 arbitrators and mediators for use on their AAA-ICDR cases. Hundreds of law firms, including the largest global law firms, courts and government agencies across the U.S. use Clearbrief’s SOC 2, Type 2-certified platform. The platform will enhance efficiency on AAA-ICDR administered cases by streamlining document summarization, drafting and fact-checking processes.
Through this partnership, the AAA-ICDR sets a new standard for dispute resolution by equipping panelists with generative AI tools and providing training in responsible AI use. “Clearbrief’s tools provide arbitrators, mediators and parties with unparalleled visibility into the key facts of a dispute. We are thrilled to collaborate with AAA in revolutionizing how documentary evidence is analyzed and documents written during arbitration,” said Clearbrief Founder and CEO Jacqueline Schafer. “The AAA’s commitment to training its workforce in Clearbrief’s technology ensures that their forum is the premier choice for clients seeking a modern dispute resolution experience. This also offers a significant advantage to AmLaw 200 firms exploring innovative ADR providers.”
Beyond panelists, Clearbrief’s platform will also be available to parties choosing the AAA-ICDR’s services for an additional fee on an individual case basis, offering valuable tools to streamline the arbitration or mediation process. “AI is the next significant chapter in the evolution of the practice of law,” said AAA-ICDR Arbitrator David Evans. “All lawyers, judges and arbitrators need to become familiar with AI’s benefits and risks and learn how to use it effectively.”
The AAA-ICDR is committed to advancing dispute resolution with technology. “At the AAA, we are transforming dispute resolution with cutting-edge AI tools with the security and accuracy required for confidential matters,” said AAA-ICDR President and CEO Bridget McCormack. “Clearbrief takes the slog out of understanding and organizing the facts so arbitrators can focus on drafting fair and well-reasoned awards in less time.”
