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. See here for details, or register here.

ADRHub is happy to share Creighton University's Negotiation and Dispute Resolution Program's Annual Impact Report, detailing the Program's activity over the course of the 2017-8 academic year. Our alumni, students and faculty have been very busy in teaching, writing, and practice in the field of conflict engagement, combining involvement, leadership and innovation across Creighton's campus and in the Omaha community with national and international activity.
