Shirley Werner Kornreich, who spent nearly 24 years on the New York bench before retiring at the end of May, has joined JAMS as an arbitrator this month.

Kornreich’s time on the bench included nine years in the Commercial Division in Manhattan Supreme Court. She presided over scores of complex litigation cases, including the products liability Bextra/Celebrex state cases and the state Bausch + Lomb ReNu cases, coordinated with federal judges.
