Kudos to ADR Professor Lela Love (Cardozo) for winning the Frontline Champion Award at last week’s Mediation Settlement Day celebration (October 15, 2009), an annual event co-sponsored by FINRA Dispute Resolution, The New York State Unified Court System, alternative dispute resolution programs, bar associations, community based programs, schools, public and non-profit organizations concentrated in the New York City area and extending beyond to upstate New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California, and Maryland.   The 2009 Honorary Chairperson was Hon. Ann Pfau, Chief Administrative Judge of the New York State Unified Court System.  Mediation Settlement Day, launched in 2001, is designed to “celebrate, promote and highlight the benefits of mediation as an effective tool for resolving conflicts.”

Congratulations, Professor Love!
