Early neutral evaluation
By Brazil, Wayne D. American Bar Association, Section of Dispute Resolution. c2012.
Early Neutral Evaluation (ENE) is a process utilized at the pretrial stage of litigation to help parties hone in on the disputed issues in a lawsuit. Participants work with a "shared information base". This focused sharing of information facilitates settlement before trial and can also streamline a case that goes to trial, saving money in either event. It is good for the litigants in resolving disputes and for the courts in getting disputes resolved efficiently. ENE is particularly advantageous because the parties look at the issues early on even before the burdensome and costly discovery phase. It is nonbinding, so there is no danger of losing your day in court. This volume explains what ENE is and its dispute resolution function. Additionally, It is prepares the reader to work as a neutral or evaluator, expanding the dispute resolution options a practitioner can offer.

A guide to federal agency adjudication
Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice, American Bar Association. Second edition. [2012].

Agency adjudications impact individuals in very important ways. When individuals view the adjudication procedures as giving them a fair chance to have their say, they are more likely to feel satisfied with the decision. This prevents every dispute going onto formal court proceedings. This handbook covers due process under the under the Administrative Procedures Act, as well as, how to ensure the same protection under proceedings not governed by the APA. The 2012 “A Blackletter Statement of Federal Administrative Law”, prepared by the Section of Administrative Law and Regulatory Practice of the American Bar Association is included as Appendix A.
