Reflections from ABA DR Conference in Seattle – day one, two and three

What a wonderful conference! After three days in Seattle, I am energized with new ideas for teaching, new topics for research (yes, some sparked by anger) and new ways to improve my own practice as an arbitrator. I was humbled by the multiple shout-outs at the FINRA/ Securities DR panel, inspired by Jean Sternlight’s speech accepting her Award for Outstanding Scholarly Work and her continuous pursuit of justice, and thrilled to see so many great ADR colleagues. I was entertained by the gentle (though always respectful) ribbing of Andrea’s Israel reflections, the wine choices at our blog party and the True/Really??/No Way!! signs used in the session debunking everything we know about DR. We truly have a wonderful, warm and welcoming community of scholars, educators and ADR practitioners.

I am proud to know you all.
