She stated ‘ Recommended Read: Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Comparative Perspectives by Dr Egbunike-Umegbolu (Springer, 2024)
For scholars interested in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), this book is a must-read! Dr Egbunike-Umegbolu provides a compelling comparative analysis of ADR in Nigeria, the UK, and the US, shedding light on both historical and contemporary practices.
One of the most insightful contributions is found in Chapter 3: Legal Transplant. The chapter explores how the Traditional African Method of Settling Disputes (TAMSD)—eradicated under British colonial rule—was rediscovered as ADR gained prominence due to concerns over cost and access to justice.
Dr Egbunike-Umegbolu introduces the concept of “legal fusion”—explaining how modern ADR mechanisms now coexist with traditional dispute resolution methods, creating a hybrid system that reflects both local customs and global best practices.
This book is essential reading for anyone exploring legal pluralism, access to justice, and ADR innovations across different jurisdictions.’
Thank you so much, Anne Daguerre FIEP, for reviewing and recommending my book. You are an awesome research mentor; without your guidance and support, this book wouldn’t have been published. Thank you for everything!
