The ABA Section of Dispute Resolution has announced its 2024 recipients of the Frank Sander Innovation in ADR Award. I had the honor again of serving on the selection committee, and I was again humbled by the extraordinary range of innovative work being done in (and adjacent) to our field.

One of this year’s recipients is Mediators Beyond Borders. Website at: https://mediatorsbeyondborders.org/. If you’re feeling in need of inspiration pre-coffee sometime, I strongly urge taking a look at almost any random “Member Spotlight” at https://mediatorsbeyondborders.org/news/member-spotlights/.

The other of this year’s recipients is Paul Lurie, a mediator / arbitrator from Chicago whose early creation of an ADR list-serv continues to be a go-to resource for practitioners today.

Both will be honored, I believe, at the Section’ meeting’s Spring Conference in San Diego net month. Hearty congratulations for both!
