I had the honour and privilege of interviewing Laurel Stevenson on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid/Podcast Show. She is the Director of the Federal District Court-Mediation and Assessment Program (MAP).

Before joining the Court, Laurel was a litigator for more than two decades, a facilitator for the Missouri Bar Complaint Resolution Program and Fee Dispute Resolution Program, a mediator and arbitrator.

In 2023, she was selected as a fellow of the American Bar Association Dispute Resolution and serves on the Court ADR Committee.

***Court-connected ADR centers or services involve engaging a neutral third (3rd) party to help dispose of a case without a trial. It is important to note that MAP is one such ADR centre that is connected to the court and can assist parties in resolving their disputes. In certain forms of ADR, the neutral third (3rd) party may even make a final decision.

She wears many hats, so I have left the links to her profile below: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurel-st… https://www.mow.uscourts.gov/content/…

In this series, we critically analysed the following questions:

1. What is the Mediation and Assessment Program (MAP)?

2. Why was MAP created? To what extent has ADR, particularly Mediation, enhanced #accesstojustice in the United States?

3. So far, what impact has MAP had, and what can be improved?

4. Compared to traditional #litigation, is there any measurable difference or impact on the #cost and #time frame for settling disputes with Mediation?

5. How does one initiate a Mediation with MAP?

6. What does the Mediation process look like from start to conclusion?

7. How safe and confidential are clients’ and Mediators’ #data?

8. How does MAP handle #cybersecurity?

9. How does one become a MAP Panelist / Member?

10. Have there been recent changes to the court’s panel of #neutrals that might provide insight to other courts interested in having neutral panels or making changes to existing panels?

11. How has the MAP worked to increase diversity amongst its’ Panelists?

What ADR Book are you reading? ‘The Crossroads of Conflict A Journey into the Heart of Dispute Resolution.’

Published by Dr Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu

@Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid /Podcast presents #What ADR Book are you reading?

The idea behind this initiative is to encourage ADR Advocates, enthusiasts, practitioners and users or potential users of ADR to share ADR books they are reading or have read. The aim is to raise awareness of the benefits of utilising ADR to settle conflicts and disputes and make it a more widely recognised and utilised practice.

So, I am curious: what ADR book are you reading or have read? As for me, I am reading ⁦‪@Professor Kenneth Cloke titled ‘The Crossroads of Conflict A Journey into the Heart of Dispute Resolution.’

So far, It’s a truly transformative book that has reshaped how I think about conflict. The way Prof. Kenneth Cloke explores the topic is nothing short of magical and healing. I highly recommend it. More reviews on this book coming soon! #Grab a copy @Amazon.

Excerpts from the book: “Every conflict we experience, no matter how trivial, points us toward a crossroads in our lives. One path leads us to into anger, fear, confrontation and bitterness and draws us into quarrels over the past. This path reveals a deep level of caring about outcomes yet also encourages adversarial relationships, sterile communications, contemptuous ideas, negative emotions and unpleasant physical sensations, blinding us and dissipating our energy and spirit. This is the path of impasse, aggression, and antagonism.”

Have you encountered any interesting excerpts or quotes from an ADR book you would like to share? Let us keep the conversation going and continue to spread awareness about the importance of Appropriate Dispute Resolution!
