DJ profiles retired Justice Chin

Today's DJ has No Nonsense: Former California Supreme Court Justice Ming Chin takes direct route to dispute resolution

  • After stepping down from the state high court in August 2020, Chin said he stayed busy writing and speaking regularly about everything from the law to genetic research for the Rutter Group while also teaching at the Panetta Institute for Public Policy. But after several conversations with Lucie Barron and Joanna Barron at ADR Services, Inc., Chin decided to join their roster of neutrals in August last year.
  • Over the past year, Chin has handled a range of matters as a mediator, arbitrator, referee and appellate consultant, including sexual harassment cases, investment disputes, breach of contract and elder abuse matters.
  • Chin said the work he’s doing as a private neutral has been terrifically rewarding not only because of the fulfillment he takes from easing the workload for his former judicial colleagues when he settles a case, but also because he feels like he’s helping people.
