What's Happening in Conflict?

A Message From Creighton NCR

New Negotiation & ADR  Talks, Articles & Research

The Online Mediation Surge: At Cyberweek 2020, Noam Ebner of Creighton's NCR Program discusses the migration of the mediation profession online during the COVID-19 era, and the wider impacts of this phenomenon on the ODR field and on the practice of mediation, online and in traditional mediation rooms. 

2020 Lawrence Lecture: Reimagining Prof. Alyson Carrel presented this talk at one of ADR academia's central annual stages for 'State of the Art' and 'Big Ideas' talks. Orienting her talk towards the future, Prof. Carrel suggests considering the future of negotiation and dispute resolution not as a direct continuation of its past, but as something open to reimagining. As examples of new pathways, she discusses the role of big data in negotiation and dispute resolution, as well possibilities to restructure dispute resolution's traditional public/private dichotomy to allow it to play a more constructive role in society.

Online Dispute Resolution Bibliography: The National Center for Technology and Dispute Resolution has published a comprehensive bibliography for publications in the field of ODR.
