July 15, 2011 Birmingham Business Journal, "With JeffCo Court Delays, Try Mediation"

The Birmingham Business Journal has published an article I wrote concerning the current court backlogs in the Birmingham area.  I encourage businesses to consider mediation as a way to save money and time while decreasing frustration and preserving confidentiality.  I also suggest the use of mediation provisions in contracts as a preferred dispute resolution option.  I have attached jpeg images of the article here. The article can be found on the BBJ's website (subscription required): http://www.bizjournals.com/birmingham/print-edition/2011/07/15/with-jeffco-court-delays-try-mediation.html
