Description
Summary:This article reflects on the first edition of Dispute Resolution, the first law school course book for dispute resolution. The authors each met Professor Frank Sander in different ways. The three of them were motivated by a pragmatic desire to see a set of comprehensive materials that they, and others interested in this topic, could use to teach their courses and seminars. They brought to the first edition of Dispute Resolution their very different perspectives, which stemmed from their very different experiences in ADR. Consistent with Frank's vision, they tried to set out what they saw as the most important questions about the implications of the ADR movement and its future. In the 20 years since they first formulated these questions, the ADR field has exploded. Courts, mediators, legislators, and lawyers are debating these issues and reaching their own, various conclusions. Teachers of ADR may now choose from numerous texts, and virtually every law school offers one or more courses on the subject.
