About

Gerald E. Rosen, Retired Chief Judge, US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, joined JAMS in 2017 following nearly 27 years of distinguished service on the federal bench. Since coming to JAMS, the Judge’s practice has focused on mediation, arbitration, and neutral evaluation of complex business/commercial disputes, complex domestic and international intellectual property disputes, Multi-District Litigation (MDL) and class action matters, False Claims Act litigation, as well as anti-trust and consumer cases. While on the bench, Judge Rosen had wide experience in facilitating settlements. Notably, he served as the Chief Judicial Mediator for the Detroit Bankruptcy case—the largest, most complex municipal bankruptcy in our nation’s history—which resulted in an agreed upon, consensual plan of adjustment in just 17 months. Prior to taking the bench, Judge Rosen was a Senior Partner at the law firm of Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone where he was a trial lawyer specializing in commercial, employment and constitutional litigation.
