Alternative Dispute Resolution Conference: The 5Cs of ADR (Collaboration, Communication, Consensus, Co-operation and Conclusion)
WHAT IT IS ABOUT
Disputes do not always have to end up being resolved in court. Recent years have seen the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (‘ADR’) processes to resolve personal and business conflicts in Singapore and globally. This has spawned new initiatives and techniques such as collaborative law, which enables parties to co-operate to achieve a consensual settlement which best meets the specific needs of all affected parties, by working with their lawyers and other professionals without resorting to litigation.
The highlights of the conference include a plenary session by Michael Leathes, Chairman of the International Mediation Institute, on the Future of ADR and a Public Lecture on resolving disputes without trial. The conference will also provide interactive break-out sessions on a variety of communication techniques and soft skills to enhance participants’ appreciation of the options that ADR offers. WHERE AND WHEN and ORGANISERS
4-5 October 2012, at the Auditorium, Supreme Court of Singapore. The conference is jointly organised by the Singapore Judiciary, the Law Society of Singapore, the Singapore Mediation Centre, the Singapore Academy of Law and the Community Mediation Centre of the Ministry of Law. WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Judges, lawyers, ADR practitioners, public servants, accountants and financial experts, psychologists and child development specialists. Members of the public interested in learning about the different options available to them to resolve their legal disputes towards a satisfactory conclusion may attend the Public Lecture.
