I am excited to share a #bookrecommendation on my new book, Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Comparative Perspectives: Nigeria, the UK, and the US. It’s written (see the screenshot below) by an ‘ADR Living legend’ and mentor, Prof. Emilia Nneka Onyema. She is a Professor of Law at SOAS University of London and an International Arbitrator.

She stated, ‘I recommend Dr Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu, AFHEA recently published book ‘Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Comparative Analysis: Nigeria, the UK, and the US.’ The book provides a rich exploration of the history of ADR and its diverse interpretations across the three jurisdictions. It highlights the delicate interplay between ego and apology in conflict/dispute escalation and de-escalation. The research for the book is based on in-depth face-to-face interviews and quantitative analysis from the author’s video/podcast show, Expert Views on ADR (EVA), and applies the innovative use of podcasts with focus on clinical legal education methodology.’

See the link to the book- https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-57476-4.

Gratitude, Prof!

Title: Series 5: Creating Safe Spaces Via ADR: How can Employees in the US Report Discrimination, Harassment & Bullying without fear of losing their jobs with Ed Watt.

Introduction

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Ed Watt on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid/Podcast Show. He started his forty (40) year career in transportation as a front-line worker at the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA). He rose to the position of Financial Secretary of the largest transit local in North America. Mr Watt is currently the principal of WattADR, an alternative dispute resolution practice. He mediates in Queens County and Long Island Dispute Resolution Centers and assists in training new mediators in the above DRCs and at Hofstra Law School.

He wears many hats, so I left the link to his profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-watt-06b8a811.

Questions Analysed

In this series, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the efficacy of Appropriate/Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in addressing workplace bullying, discrimination, and harassment, focusing on safeguarding employees from such misconduct. Mr. Watt provided a lucid definition of a toxic workplace and elaborated on its connection to Donna Hick’s theory for remedying toxic work environments. We explored the legal framework and employer’s obligations to prevent and address workplace discrimination, bullying, and harassment while examining strategies to encourage reporting these incidents through ADR. Additionally, we highlighted common barriers that deter employees from reporting, such as the fear of retaliation from HR/organisation or their employers.

Ed contributed insightful perspectives on how organisations can foster a culture of inclusion and diversity that empowers employees to report bullying, discrimination, or harassment. He offered insights from his encounter/ experience with bullying, discrimination, and harassment, highlighting the cultural factors that play a role in these issues. He specifically delved into the impact of broader cultural influences, citing immigration and using the US and UK as examples.

Conclusion

Finally, Ed acknowledged that most people are not trained on dignity at the workplace; he presented a constructive solution to assist employees in creating safe spaces through ADR to effectively address workplace challenges.

Mr Watt shared an insightful quote that sheds light on the challenges of litigation:

‘Litigation is prevalent, often taking years and benefiting those with financial resources. It would take around eight years to pursue a lawsuit, involving significant costs and possibly reaching the Supreme Court, with legal fees climbing to approximately $100,000. This is prohibitively expensive for many people, so alternative methods such as mediation have been adopted in various places as a more cost-effective solution.’

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Sending you love, peace and light,

Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show Quotes August 2024 By Chinwe Egbunike

Published by Dr Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu

‘When someone is placed under guardianship, it means that someone has submitted a petition to the court explaining why the person needs protection. In most cases, these petitions are approved, and the guardianship process begins.

The person under guardianship is referred to as an incapacitated ward of the court, and all their assets are placed under the court’s control. This includes their property, investments, land, homes, cars, art collection, and more, which are all put into the name of the appointed guardian.

In the US, state courts are responsible for confiscating approximately $50 billion worth of assets each year through guardianship and conservatorship processes.

Since the average guardianship or conservatorship lasts around six years, this represents a significant sum of around $300 billion that is under the control of others at any given time’-Diane Dimond.
