Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid /Podcast Show Quotes April 2024

Published by Dr Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu

As we approach the end of April, I want to remind #potentialusers of the many reasons why they should opt for or consider ‘Traditional African Methods of Settling Disputes’ or the ‘Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR).’

The Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show April 2024 quotes features a quote from the pioneer director of the Oyo State Multi-Door Courthouse, Mrs Anuolu Gade, in (2021) Episode 17: Oyo State Multi-Door Courthouse (OYSMDC) as it stands today -Under the Leadership of Mrs Anuolu Gade encapsulates some of these reasons-

‘In Nigeria, litigation can be a frustrating experience that often leaves litigants financially drained. However, the Oyo State Multi-Door Courthouse (OYSMDC) offers a user-friendly ADR mechanism that is quick, inexpensive, and helps build and preserve relationships.

As the Yoruba saying goes, “You do not go to court and come back as friends; you end up as permanent enemies.”

The OYSMDC offers several benefits, including enhancing businesses in the state in a short time. When people bring their cases to the centre, they can expect to resolve their disputes amicably within one or two sessions’- Mrs Anuolu Gade, the Director of the OYSMDC On The EVA Show 2021.

Series 1: TECH AND ADR: Disputesefiling.com with Director Tony Guise #uk (Vid / Podcast)

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Tony Guise on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. In different capacities, Tony Guise has been at the heart of every major civil justice reform of the past Thirty (30) years. Notable successes include the formation of the Civil Justice Council (CJC) in 1997, the campaign for new court accommodation in 2007 that became the Rolls Building, and, in 2013, #costs budgeting.

Tony ceased to practice as a commercial litigation solicitor in 2016. He now works full-time as the Director of DisputesEfiling.com Limited, an online dispute management platform, and campaigns for civil justice reform. He writes about his work for Solicitors Journal, Mediate.com, and the AOI Journal, among other publications. Tony wears many hats; I have left the link to his profile below:

  / tonyguise  

In this series, we provided a brief overview of the Traditional African Methods of Settling Disputes (TAMSD), also known as the Indigenous Methods. This method was the main mode of settling disputes in most #African #countries prior to #British #colonisation, which ushered in #litigation- with reference to #Uganda and #Nigeria.

We examined the impact of Appropriate / Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), along with the role of technology in improving access to justice in England and Wales. Our discussion also delved into the purpose and impact of DisputesEfiling.com (DEF), including a brief analysis of the recent case of Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil, and we raised a pertinent question: Does the creation of DEF software suggest a growing interest in ADR? Tony presented data-driven examples to analyse the above-mentioned question while indicating the effectiveness of DEF compared to other similar products.

We also indicated the cost of downloading DEF software and what measures are in place to prioritise the cybersecurity and #confidentiality of registered practitioners. We went on to revisit Dr Chinwe’s 2020-2021 research findings, one of which revealed room for improvement in lawyers’ adoption of ADR across various jurisdictions. Tony shed light on the current situation.

In conclusion, Tony critically analysed AI’s role in dispute resolution and its impact on the ADR industry in England and Wales.

 

NOTE: This podcast was recorded before the Ministry of Justice announced on the 11th of April, 2024, that mediation was to be a required step in every claim for less than £10,000 in England and Wales.

Achievements of the American Bar Association (ABA) Dispute Resolution with Ana Sambold, Esq (Vid /Podcast)

Published by Dr Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzc6xAefM3I

 

 

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Ana Sambold, Esq, the Chair of the American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Dispute Resolution for the 2023-2024 Bar Year on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast show. Ana Sambold is a California attorney, mediator, and arbitrator and one of the leading figures in the field of dispute resolution in the world. With over a decade of experience, she has served as a neutral in over 1,000 cases across a broad spectrum of civil litigation matters.

She is also a Negotiation Professor at the University of San Diego School of Law and has taught extensively in conflict resolution, negotiation, and ADR globally. She is fully bilingual (English/Spanish) enabling her to effectively mediate and teach in both languages. Ana has also served as the Chair of the San Diego County Bar Association ADR Section, Co-Chair of the California Lawyers Association ADR Committee, and President of the San Diego Law Library Foundation, among other leadership roles.

She wears many hats, so I have left the links to her profile below:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/ana-sambo…

sambold@sambold-law.com

In this series, Ana provided a comprehensive overview of what led to the establishment of the American Bar Association Section of Dispute Resolution. She then delved into the Section’s role and functions, highlighting how it serves the broader community.

Additionally, Ana touched on the Section’s efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity and the benefits they have yielded. One notable effort is the approval of Resolution 105 in 2018 by the ABA House of Delegates, which aimed to increase diversity in dispute resolution. We also examined some of the Section’s significant achievements within the larger context of the organisation. These achievements include Resolution 500, which strongly urges increased use of Early Dispute Resolution (EDR), while Resolution 703 approved the Uniform Collaborative Law Rules and Uniform Collaborative Law Act (UCLA) and Resolution 501, which underscores the principle of Civility as the cornerstone of democracy and the rule of law.

Ana went on to provide a detailed outline of the new programmes available at the upcoming 2024 Dispute Resolution Spring Conference, which will be held from April 10th to 13th in San Diego, California. Finally, Ana elaborated on the perks of being an American Bar Association (ABA) Dispute Resolution Section member.
