Description:
As the adversarial tradition has made way for more cooperative techniques – such as Alternative Dispute Resolution, Collaborative Divorce, Drug Courts, Mediation, Problem-Solving Courts, Restorative Justice and Integrative Law – lawyers are increasingly turning to peacemaking, problem-solving and healing over arguing, winning and punishing.  The panel of three experts will discuss the emergence of an international trend toward new legal paradigms, the reasons for it, and the legal theories behind it.
