Dispute Resolution and Lawyers, A Contemporary Approach

by Leonard L. Riskin, Chris Guthrie, Richard Reuben

This new edition of this popular book includes an entirely revised negotiation chapter to tailor negotiation theory to negotiation practice. Other new material includes the Report from the ABA Section of Dispute Resolution Task Force on Research on Mediator Techniques, the new arbitration cases to date, and the latest thinking on online dispute resolution (ODR) and dispute systems design (DSD). As this popular book is now in the Interactive Casebook Series, the book features a novel visual display and layout that uses text boxes, diagrams, and color/border segregated feature sections for hypotheticals, reference to scholarly debates, useful information for students, and questions to provoke thought. Furthermore, the book now includes a number of multiple-choice questions for both formative and summative assessment to confirm both transference and retention of material.

Dispute Resolution and Lawyers gives a comprehensive view of alternative dispute resolution approaches and how they can benefit lawyers in their dealings with clients. It is also a good read for those who may need to use ADR in their personal or professional life as it lifts the veil and gives us a look at what is available to resolve conflicts. There is an approach or method that fits just about every need, or you can combine methods. I learned quite a bit in this book and the course I used it in.
