After I’ve spent the last two weeks working to draw together the latest research on negotiation and gender, Andrea Schneider comes along and delivers a much better summary and discussion in twelve minutes than I ever could!

I’d like to share an article that recently came out in the current issue of Negotiation Journal; an article that reflects, essentially, the main effort of the past two years of professional work.

2014 was, for me, The Year of the MOOC. Most of my time that year was dedicated to creating a Massive Open Online Course entitled Negotiation: Navigating Professional and Personal…

At the latest ABA Section of Dispute Resolution conference in NYC, I participated in a panel trying to envision the future of the field of ADR. Not that I would ordinarily suggest convening groups of prophets in order to say things that will likely seem silly a couple of years later, but the idea here was to grapple with a single proposition: Change is more likely to happen in our field, than not. What might that change look like? And, no matter what it turns out to look like, how can we…

A NO-BRAINER?

One might assume that using a “planned early dispute resolution” (PEDR) system should be a…

A new paper, written with John Zeleznikow, explores three key concepts in online dispute resolution: Fairness, Trust and Security. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Join me in sharing this beautiful clip, in which Jews and Muslims in Israel speak about the upcoming holidays of ‘Id al-Adcha and Yom Kippur, which come out together this year. Beautiful!

Here is a good piece written by a good friend, with all the good advice a new lawyer needs before she or he gets started. Dispute resolution folks – I think you may want to read this as well.

A book chapter I wrote last year, Negotiation via (the New) Email, is to be reprinted in a second leading negotiation textbook – this time, in the upcoming edition of Jay Folberg and Dwight Golann’s Lawyer Negotiation: Theory, Practice, and Law. I’m so glad this topic is starting to find its way into the mainstream of negotiation courses, in business, conflict engagement and legal frameworks (earlier this year, it was reprinted in Roy Lewicki, Bruce Barry and David Saunders’…
