The Honorable Elizabeth A. McClanahan (Ret.) has joined The McCammon Group, a leading provider of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services in the mid-Atlantic region.

Justice McClanahan is the President and Dean of the Appalachian School of Law. She retired in 2019 from judicial service after a combined sixteen years on the Supreme Court of Virginia and the Court of Appeals of Virginia. Prior to her service on the bench, she enjoyed a successful career in private practice and later as the Chief Deputy Attorney General for Virginia.  Justice McClanahan has also served as a director on numerous professional and nonprofit boards, including the Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, North American Coalbed Methane Forum, National Chamber Foundation Board of the United States Chamber of Commerce, Energy and Mineral Law Foundation, and Virginia Oil and Gas Association. She now brings this exemplary record of leadership to The McCammon Group to serve the mediation, arbitration, special master, and judge pro tempore needs of lawyers and litigants throughout the Commonwealth.

Since 1995 The McCammon Group has provided ADR services including mediation, arbitration, judge pro tempore, and special master. It consists of eighty Neutrals including retired judges and practicing attorneys located throughout Virginia, DC, and Maryland.  Importantly, throughout this time The McCammon Group has achieved a settlement rate of approximately 85% in its mediation work.  The McCammon Group is committed to the proposition that ADR processes provide individuals, as well as public and private entities, with many substantial benefits including effective and prompt resolution of disputes, self-determination, cost savings, timeliness, flexibility, and confidentiality.
