A delegation from Nigeria is traveling to the United States and working with the UMASS Center for Peace, Democracy and Development to learn more about ADR. The delegation is made up of several high level judges from Nigeria and includes the Chief Justice and the President of the Court of Appeals.
The use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has spread worldwide and is growing quickly in European and African nations, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. ADR first began to gain popularity in the United States in the 1980s and is widely used today as an alternative to courts and to litigation.
Michael Zeytoonian, director of Dispute Resolution Counsel, LLC (DRC) in Wellesley Hills, MA, will be making a presentation on ADR to this group on August 5 Cambridge, Massachusetts. Michael will join long-time ADR colleague Brian Jerome of Massachusetts Dispute Resolution Services (MDRS) in Boston in making the presentation. Jerome and Zeytoonian bring their years of experience in many forms of ADR including Mediation, Arbitration, Collaborative Law and Conciliation. They have both trained other lawyers in ADR processes, lectured at several area law schools and have served for several years on the Massachusetts Bar Association’s ADR Committee.
