News From Creighton NCR

The Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Program is excited to invite you to Disrupting Law, Reclaiming Justice - an event on October 8th at Creighton that brings to the Heartland a national conversation about the need to remake the legal system - for it to be more responsive to more people, to business, to our changing population, and to the globally-interconnected and complex world we live in.
