At Corodemus & Corodemus, L.L.C., we are no longer lawyers on retainer. We no longer represent litigants. We are a true neutral party with extensive experience in class action, mass tort, and complex case management within the pharmaceutical, medical device, consumer fraud, environmental law, and other fields of law.
Neutral Party in Alternative Dispute Resolution
Neutral Dispute Resolution Nationwide
Beginning with the recognition of ADR in 1976 by the American Bar Association and continuing with several acts of Congress primarily in the 1990s, the role of third-party neutrals has grown significantly as a tool for peaceful resolution of complex or highly contentious cases. There are national ADR firms which act as a clearing house for retired judges from across the USA. It is possible to select a neutral for legal negotiation from a menu of selections and laundry list of experience.
We are not that type of third party neutral and special master / adjudicator law firm.
At Corodemus & Corodemus we take a personal approach. As a small group of ADR professionals and third-party neutrals, you will not be lost in the crowd, but will instead find the one-on-one advice and attention that is merited by your needs and the case at hand.
Special Allocation Masters
Judge Marina Corodemus (Ret.) was the sole Mass Tort Judge for New Jersey for ten years and ruled in many landmark pharmaceutical cases during her tenure. She is a Member of the American Law Institute, served as an adviser to that committee’s “Principles of the Law of Aggregate Litigation” which was published in 2010 and set the current ground rules for how a neutral special allocation master should work. Of recent note, Judge Corodemus has successfully served as a neutral Special Allocation Master in numerous mass tort cases including:

Complex Mass Tort or Class Action
We believe that our experience has led to shortened litigation and negotiation in difficult cases.
