I have heard from many lawyers who have reluctantly adapted to virtual mediations that even though Zoom and other platforms work well for mediations, they do not work so well for arbitrations. These lawyers have asked that I postpone their arbitrations until the pandemic is over and we can arbitrate in person. My response is always the same: Tell me the date when the pandemic will be over, and we will arbitrate then. Of course, no one knows when that will be, and cases cannot sit idle forever. Slowly, and with a push from arbitrators, most lawyers have come to the realization that there is currently no alternative to arbitration by videoconference.
