| Announcing Three New Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Websites James Melamed Resourceful Internet Solutions, Inc. (RIS) and our flagship websites Mediate.com and Arbitrate.com are proud to announce the launch of three new online dispute resolution websites at: The world of online dispute resolution is growing rapidly and at an accelerating pace based both upon purely online initiatives and because all mediators and arbitrators are now "online mediators and arbitrators." We all now use the Internet extensively in nearly every case. We hope and trust that you will gain great value from RIS’ new ODR websites |
| ODR Theory and Practice: Table of Contents, Forward, Introduction & Chapter 1: Past, Present & Future Ethan Katsh, Daniel Rainey, Mohamed S. Abdel Wahab, Richard Susskind As a service to the ADR and ODR fields, Mediate.com is honored to make the book "Online Dispute Resolution: Theory and Practice" by Mohamed S. Abdel Wahab, Ethan Katsh and Daniel Rainey ( Eds.) available. We here begin with the Forward, Introduction and First Chapter of "Online Dispute Resolution: Theory and Practice." |
| Business As Usual? Mediation and the Justice System Charlie Irvine This article considers the under-use of mediation in the UK's second largest jurisdiction, Scotland. The article has three sections: a "myth buster" and two questions. The first examines three popular myths about mediation; the second addresses the question, "How does mediation add value to the justice system"; and the third presents the business case for lawyers, "Why does mediation make good business sense?" |
| Congregational Conflict: Why Don't We Seek Help Lester L. Adams This article addresses two congregational issues: why we do not seek help to settle our disagreements, and the misguided reasons we use to justify it. |
| Mediation Case Law Video: Wrongful Death James Coben In Estate of Barber v. Guilford County Sheriff's Department,, the appellate court ruled that a plaintiff's obligation not to defame a wrongful death action defendant is not unenforceable as a prior restraint on speech, where record showed the mediated agreement was based on a knowing, voluntarily and intelligent waiver of constitutionally protected rights. |
| ODR 2013 in Montreal June 16-18 Registration is now open for the 12th International ODR Forum in Montreal. The Forum is an opportunity to discuss ODR entrepreneurial efforts, new European Union regulations that mandate ODR, the ongoing UNCITRAL efforts to craft rules, new research and more. Consider the following prediction from Richard Susskind in “Tomorrow’s Lawyers: An Introduction to Your Future,” Susskind writes: “I predict that ODR will prove to be a disruptive technology that fundamentally challenges the work of traditional litigators (and of judges). In the long run, I expect it to become the dominant way to resolve all but the most complex and high-value disputes.” |

| ODR in North America Arthur Pearlstein, Noam Ebner, Bryan Hanson In the chapter, the authors map out the state of ODR private market services and look at our federal government and its potential roles as a major provider and user of ODR services. The US and Canada have not only spearheaded the offering of ODR services. North American institutions were also the first to set up research institutes in this area of dispute resolution, as well as to incorporate ODR into academic curricula. |
| ODR in Europe Graham Ross, Marta Poblet This paper offers an overview of the present situation of ODR in Europe and discusses effective development of ODR deployments to handle online, offline, national and cross-border disputes in Europe. To do so, we proceed by first defining the scope of ODR and reviewing existing services. We then continue by analyzing the major challenges faced by ODR in Europe and finally conclude by suggesting some future scenarios. |
