Archives for February 2012

This week in ADR: January 29-February 5

It’s hard to believe that we’re already into February 2012.  But, as Colum McCann would say, the great world spins on, and with it comes ADR news.

  • Over at the New York Times, Gretchen Morgenson opines on why a $1.38 million arbitration award still didn’t satisfy one bitter investor.
  • Any of us who haven’t blocked middle school out of our memories entirely will recall that conflicts during those years can be just as contentious as any on Wall Street.  Luckily, peer mediation programs can offer hope.
  • Mediation also showed up halfway across the world, as peacemaking teams attempt to rid Yemeni towns of Al-Qaeda militants.
  • One ex-CIA spy is not optimistic that negotiation will result in a deal with Iran over nuclear weapons.
  • For the brave physicians of Doctors Without Borders, however, negotiation sometimes provides their only chance of carrying out their important work in conflict zones.
  • But on a lighter note, perhaps we all can take a few tips from the persuasive genius of Liz Lemon.
See you next week!

About HNLR

Negotiation, not adjudication, resolves most legal conflicts. However, despite the fact that dispute resolution is central to the practice of law and has become a “hot” topic in legal circles, a gap in the literature persists. “Legal negotiation” — negotiation with lawyers in the middle and legal institutions in the background — has escaped systematic analysis.

The Harvard Negotiation Law Review works to close this gap by providing a forum in which scholars from many disciplines can discuss negotiation as it relates to law and legal institutions. It is aimed specifically at lawyers and legal scholars.
