The good news for those interested in dispute resolution is FindLaw has included that topic in its directory under the heading, "Legal Subjects: Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Mediation." That section of the directory can be accessed at http://www.findlaw.com/01topics/11disput...
The Dispute Resolution index is divided into three categories: "FindLaw Resources;" "Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Mediation Web Guide;" and "Related FindLaw Guide Pages." While a search of the entire index may prove valuable, especially to lawyers and law students, it is the "Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Mediation Web Guide" that I believe has utility for a general audience.
The Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Mediation Web Guide is itself divided into eight subcategories, all easily navigated and thoroughly searchable. Many of the sites listed have been described in this column over the course of several years, and, I believe, the FindLaw directory does a good job of listing the most important and comprehensive of the dispute resolution sites.
If you are pressed for time, concentrate on "Web Sites," the eighth subcategory. This section contains a list of sites divided into "ADR Documents, Briefs, Articles and Books," "Business," "Educational Programs," "International," "Online Dispute Resolution Services," "Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School," and "Related FindLaw Guide Pages." Navigating through this list, with all entries hypertexted, will produce information on most of the topics covered by the entire FindLaw Dispute Resolution index.
Until next time...
