The International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (CPR) has appointed senior counsel John Buckley to its National Panel of arbitrators.

CPR describes the National Panel as an “elite panel comprising CPR’s most distinguished neutrals.  These panelists are nationally recognized for their success and experience across the ADR spectrum.  Neutrals are only selected to this panel after a rigorous peer review process and must possess exemplary arbitrator and mediator skills and have amassed years of tangible experience to be listed on this specialty panel.”

John is a member of the CPR Council and CPR’s Arbitration Committee, is co-chair of CPR’s Administered Rules Revision Committee and Model Clause Task Force, and is chair of its Fast Track Rules Revision Committee.  He is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (FCIArb) and a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers (FACTL).  He is also listed on the arbitrator rosters of the American Arbitration Association, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, and many other rosters. He  has been repeatedly listed in Euromoney’s Guide to the World’s Leading Experts in Commercial Arbitration.  From 2015 to 2020, he was Clinical Visiting Lecturer at Yale Law School, where he taught Advocacy in International Arbitration.

In 2021, John became the inaugural recipient of the CPR Institute's Partner of the Year Award for his contributions to CPR and alternative dispute resolution.
