I recently paticipated in a discussion about ODR and Labor Law with the Laboratore de Cyberjustice (based at the University of Toronto). The video of the discussion can be found at this URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0CySWfXRtE&feature=youtu.be My comments and the Q&A start at about the 26 minute mark.
The COVID-19 social distance measures have not eliminated the need for guidance and training related to online dispute resolution – in fact, it seems to have intensified the need. Currently, I am is working on a number of consulting and training projects:
Online Mediation training for the World Bank;
Mediation and ODR training for the Kusamotu & Kusamotu law firm in Lagos, Nigeria;
Online Mediation training with ICFML, with students from Kuwait, Canada, Australia, Brazil, and the USA;
ODR training for mediators with NVMS;
Consulting and training through Cornell University’s Scheinman Institute for union negotiators working online;
Ongoing work with IMI, ICODR, and the ABA related to ODR ethics and standards of practice.
