I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Megan Willoughby on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. She is serving as the first faculty Ombudsperson for Villanova University. She is their confidential consultant for work-related conflicts. In 2021, the American Bar Association (ABA) awarded her a Dispute Resolution Fellowship to hone her expertise in collaborative resolution. Meg is currently the Co-Chair of the Ombuds Committee in the Dispute Resolution Section of the American Bar Association. She is an Attorney and served as a Subject Matter Expert in the Office for Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Education, where she enforced federal civil rights statutes in schools that received federal funding, from Pre-K through # Ph.D. #programs .

She wears many hats, so I have left the link to her profile below:   / meganpwilloughby  

In this series, we provided a comprehensive examination of the concept of ombuds and its history in various jurisdictions likeTurkey and Sweden, amongst others. Meg, a key contributor to the drafting of Resolution 500, revealed a detailed history of Resolution 500 and its recent adoption by the ABA House of Delegates.

The resolution strongly recommends ‘the use of Early Dispute Resolution (EDR), which consists of non-adjudicative methods for resolving disputes in a cost-effective and timely manner. These methods include direct negotiation, ombuds and mediation.’

In addition, we delved into the different types of ombuds, analysing the measurable differences in cost and time compared to litigation and other Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes. Meg shed light on the role and independence of the ombudsman in conflict resolution and the pros and cons associated with this process. She also explored the scope of matters that can be resolved via ombuds, examining its role in #institutions, #organisations, #highereducation and #healthcare .

We provided examples of when an #ombudsman or #ombudsperson can maintain #confidentiality, as well as situations when this may not apply or exceptions to this general rule. We also covered the qualifications required to become an ombuds and the future of Mass Advocacy of ADR. Additionally, we discussed the potential for international legal research through podcasting, specifically in the realm of ADR-Ombuds. In conclusion, Meg shared insights on how members of the public/individuals can join the American Bar Association (ABA) Dispute Resolution and the benefits associated with it.

In this episode, we delved into a range of thought-provoking questions, such as the meaning of arbitration and its role in resolving disputes, while examining the emergence of the Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC), and assessing the impact of appropriate dispute resolution (ADR) on access to justice in Asia. We scrutinised the laws and regulations guiding the AIAC while touching on sports arbitration, Islamic rules and the challenges faced by arbitral institutions in today’s world.

Datuk indicated the achievements of the AIAC and the associations that have supported its growth. In furtherance, we examined the diversity of the Centre and the advantages it brings, as well as looking at the Malaysian Bar Association and the All China Lawyers Association and highlighting the notable achievements resulting from the Centre’s intervention. We also revealed the importance of protecting the data of practitioners registered with the AIAC and discussed ways in which the Centre could improve its usefulness and service in the future. Finally, we examined the requirements for joining AIAC and the qualifications necessary for membership.
