JAMS (organization)

[4] A 1994 merger with Endispute of Washington, D.C. made JAMS into the largest private arbitration and mediation service in the country.

As of 2012,[update] JAMS administers a few hundred consumer arbitration cases per year.

[10][11] JAMS established the JAMS Foundation to offer financial assistance for conflict resolution initiatives with national or international impact and to share its dispute resolution experience and expertise for the benefit of the public interest.

[citation needed] Funded entirely by contributions from JAMS neutrals and staff[citation needed], the JAMS Foundation has provided nearly $5 million in grants for conflict resolution initiatives.

[citation needed] The JAMS Foundation also established the Weinstein International Fellowship Program to provide opportunities for individuals from outside the United States to visit the U.S. and learn more about dispute resolution processes and practices and to pursue a project of their own to advance dispute resolution in their home countries.
