Expert Views On ADR (EVA) Vid /Podcast Show

In this episode, we critically examined why apologies are often trivialised as mere interpersonal gestures, despite their significant legal and organisational implications. Within adversarial systems, apologies are frequently conflated with admissions of fault, creating a tension between expressing remorse and avoiding legal exposure.

Jon drew an important distinction between moral accountability and legal liability.  

We further explored whether there is an apology law; its role, and its effectiveness in safeguarding individuals and organisations that express remorse, assessing whether such frameworks genuinely encourage openness or merely provide limited legal reassurance.

The discussion also addressed the organisational consequences of withheld apologies, particularly how leadership's reluctance to acknowledge harm can erode trust, damage workplace culture, and entrench conflict. In contrast, we identified the key elements of an apology within professional settings.

Finally, Jon analysed how power imbalances shape both the delivery and reception of apologies, demonstrating that in workplaces, credibility is often contingent not only on the content of the apology but also on the perceived authority and vulnerability of the speaker.

The passing of Robert A. Baruch Bush feels deeply personal both as a scholar and as someone formed, in part, by his ideas. For many of us in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), the award-winning book, The Promise of Mediation: The Transformative Approach to Conflict, presented a fundamentally different vision from the dominant, settlement-driven paradigms of mediation. At a time when legal education often prioritises outcomes, efficiency, and closure, this book / his work invited us to slow down to see conflict not simply as a problem to be solved, but as a human interaction to be understood. Its central insight that mediation should be grounded in empowerment and recognition reshaped how many of us viewed justice itself. It challenged the assumption that resolution must be measured by agreement alone, and instead advanced the idea that transformation subtle, relational, deeply human may be the more meaningful outcome. I was drawn to his work as an LLM student in Dispute Resolution at Kingston University London where I returned to his ideas repeatedly in my family mediation assessments. There was something profoundly compelling about a model of dispute resolution that does not impose solutions, but intentionally creates a safe space: a space for voice, a space for dignity, a space for change. At the time, many of us particularly those trained within adversarial legal frameworks were captivated by the possibility that disputes could be addressed without confrontation, without the rigid architecture of the courtroom. We did not simply study the book; we were shaped by it. It gave us hope that peacemaking is not separate from justice, but a core part of it. Yet these encounters were never merely academic. His work demanded reflection. It invited questioning. It unsettled assumptions. It became something I carried with me into my PhD at the University of Brighton, and into my subsequent scholarship and teaching. I remain especially grateful to Pamela, my family mediation lecturer at Kingston University London, who introduced me to both family mediation and this remarkable sacred textbook. God bless her. That introduction was not simply academic; it was formative. What distinguishes Professor Bush’s contribution is not only its theoretical precision, but its humanity. He reminded us quietly but powerfully that mediation is, at its core, is about people. About how individuals understand themselves, about how they perceive one another, and about the possibility that, even in conflict, there can be recognition, growth, and transformation. This perspective has remained with me not only as a researcher, but as an educator. Each time I introduce his ideas to students, it feels less like teaching doctrine and more like opening a door into a different way of seeing conflict: one that privileges dignity over dominance, understanding over expediency, and transformation over mere settlement. Today, the transformative model Prof Bush championed has extended far beyond its original conceptual boundaries. It is now applied across diverse contexts family disputes, workplace conflicts, community tensions, organisational challenges, and even public policy dialogues. Yet its essence remains unchanged: a steadfast commitment to the moral and relational dimensions of human interaction. And so, his legacy continues/endures not only in books or citations, but in practice. In the mediator who chooses to listen more deeply, in the parties who begin, even tentatively, to see each other differently, in the quiet, often unseen moments where conflict shifts from destructive to constructive.

In this episode, I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking podcast session with Professor Ken Cloke on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid/Podcast Show.

Prof Ken is a world-recognised mediator (he currently lectures in Pittsburgh), dialogue facilitator, conflict resolution systems designer, teacher, public speaker, author of numerous books and articles, and a pioneer and leader in the field of mediation and conflict resolution for the last thirty-seven (37) years.

In 1983, he created the Center for Dispute Resolution in Santa Monica, CA.

In 2006, he co-founded Mediators Beyond Borders (MBB), based in Washington, D.C. MBB is an organisation that mobilises mediators worldwide to support individuals, organisations, communities, and governments in building conflict-resolution literacy and capacity in underserved communities.

Together, we analysed an important question: Is success in dispute resolution simply measured by settlement?

Prof. Cloke distinguishes between four critical concepts in conflict resolution: settlement, resolution, reconciliation, and transformation and challenges the assumption that ending a dispute necessarily means the conflict has truly been resolved.

We also raised an important concern is resolution sometimes just organisational conflict suppression?

In furtherance, we examined the role of forgivenessin conflict. Is forgiveness primarily a psychological act that occurs within individuals, or can it operate at a relationalor even institutional level?

We further examined the conditions that allow conflict to become transformative rather than destructive, offering insights relevant to workplace disputes, mediation practice, and broader social conflicts.

Drawing from his extensive global experience, Prof. Cloke reflects on his work in deeply polarised contexts, including Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Israel, and Palestine, sharing lessons from high-intensity conflicts that can inform how we approach disputes in organisations and communities.

Prof. Cloke also recounts moments where he witnessed forgiveness emerge organically in entrenched conflicts, and reflects on the conditions that made those extraordinary moments possible.

We also discussed why acknowledgement is often essential in divided societies and how this principle applies equally to workplace conflicts, where recognition of harm and experience can open pathways to healing.

Finally, Prof Cloke shared what has surprised him most about human beings in conflicand the remarkable capacity people have for healing, transformation, and reconciliation.

This episode offers insights for mediators, lawyers, organisational leaders, HR, academics, and anyone interested in the human dynamics of conflict and peacebuilding.

In this series, we contribute to the civic discourse on how Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and AI are transforming the lives of citizens caught in the web of justice backlogs in the US.
Our guest is the Regional Vice President of the AAA’s Commercial Division for California, and also the National Chair of AAA’s Entertainment Practice, the Western U.S. Chair for AAA’s Technology Practice, and an Ambassador for the AAA-ICDR Foundation joins us to discuss how the American Arbitration Association (AAA) is shaping the future of dispute resolution through cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools. 
Aaron Gothelf breaks down the suite of AI innovations the AAA has developed in recent years and explains how these technologies are expanding access to justice while highlighting the development of the AAA’s AI Arbitrator, how it was built, why construction cases were selected for beta testing, and the crucial role human arbitrators still play in oversight, disclosure, and decision-making integrity.
We also discussed the emotional dimension of Large Language Models (LLM), how the simple act of feeling heard can influence party engagement and satisfaction in ADR processes.
Essentially, we addressed key concerns, such as potential bias, hallucination risks, data privacy, and whether AI risks diminish a pro se claimant’s day in court.  

Additionally, we analysed whether AI could ever replace human arbitrators, what guardrails are essential for fairness, and the biggest barriers to adoption in the arbitration community.
Finally, we examined why the AAA, given its scale, experience, and institutional credibility, is uniquely positioned to lead innovation in this space.
Sending love, light, peace, hope and faith,

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking podcast session with Stephen Tolfree on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid/Podcast Show. Stephen is a forgiveness coach and boss whisperer, helping to rehabilitate people after workplace conflict. He helps people who lost their confidence to return to full strength and peak performance, using forgiveness. He also helps people with an abrasive management style to change their approach and learn empathy. Stephen's work is restorative and redemptive, and he has coached more than one thousand (1000) people. Two universities are planning a study of his work; he speaks internationally on the benefits of forgiveness, and his work has been cited in Psychology Today.

Our analysis illuminated how holding onto resentment can inflict pain and obstruct the healing process. We distinguished conceptually between healing and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms. Stephen clarified that while ADR procedures such as mediation, conciliation, and restorative justice provide structured pathways to settlement, healing entails deeper psychological and relational restoration. We evaluated whether Human Resources (HR) could integrate forgiveness within grievance procedures while upholding procedural fairness. Stephen addressed a common misconception that forgiveness equates to tolerating mistreatment, highlighting the importance of maintaining personal boundaries. Chinwe raised a pertinent question: Should forgiveness-based approaches be optional or mandatory steps in the dispute resolution process? Finally, we examined whether forgiveness is essential to rebuilding professional trust, or whether meaningful healing can occur independently through procedural fairness, accountability, and behavioural change, while also considering how forgiveness might be woven into future settlement processes.#adr #forgiveness #healing #coach #HR #organisational #organisationalleaders #leaders #humanresources #grievance #reconciliation #peace #peacemaking #restoretive #justice #research #bullying #workplace #conflict #england #wales #world #DEI #fyp #education #awareness #diversity #inclusion #equality #interview #odr #innovation #marketing #marketingadr #cybersecurity #cyberattack #digitaltechnology #pedagogy #researchmethods #AI #DEI #diversity #inclusion #equality #international #commerical #technology #education #awareness #highereducation #digitaltransformation #ICA #youtube #viral #europe #africa #uk #caribbean #northamerica #southamerica #latinamerica #asia #trending #equity #university #schools #researchmethods #accesstojustice #law #lawschool #shortvideo #shorts #conflict #talkshow #tv #conversation #conversations #podcasting #britishpodcastawards

We aim to contribute to the civic discourse on how ADR and digitisation can transform the lives of citizens caught in the web of justice backlogs.

In this series, we explore whether ADR is gaining traction as a core feature of mainstream litigation. We also unpacked the pre-action protocols and discussed how parties can go about selecting mediators. Finally, we analysed how jurisdictions such as the Netherlands, Trinidad and Tobago, British Columbia (Canada), Nigeria, Singapore, South Korea, Australia, and the USA have embraced digital transformation and court digitisation.

Our discussion draws on the works of leading scholars, including Prof. Frank Sander, Prof. Ahmed Masood, Ms Achere Cole, and Prof. David Allen Larson.Please follow us on your favourite podcast platform and subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay updated.Sending love, light, peace, faith, and hope,Dr Chinwe Umegbolu & Mr Tony Guise- Hosts and Producers of the ADR Across the Globe Podcast. #adr #alternativedisputeresolution #highereducation #britain #british #brits #accesstojustice #education #awareness #court #digitisation #globe #podcast #technology #digitaltransformation #inclusion #diversity #equality #DEI #singapore #southkorea #trinidad #tobago #canada #britishcolumbia #australia #usa #uk #world #equality #inclusion #dei #society #culture #subscribe #podcaster #awareness #moments #life #lifestyle #christian #fyp #letsmakeadrgoviral #viral #africa #europe #northamerica #southamerica #caribbean #rastafari #australia #asia #education #edit #video #world #england #wales #english #scotland #ireland #oxford #banbury #nigeria #naija #duet #christian #law #ethics #news #collaborativeapproach #research #youtube #youtubeshorts #highereducation #youtube #youtubeshorts #education #researchpodcast #answer #interview #blog #blogger #audible #Audacy #apple #Spotify #amazon #overcast #music #ListenNow #podpod #vousparlezadr #viral #world #trending #tiktok #tseries #youtubeshorts #youtube #founding #street #awareness #workplace #tiktok #linkedin #achievements #selling #subscribe #shortvideo #shorts #viral #conflict #talkshow #tv #podcast #podcasting #viralvideo

In this series, Tony and I delved into the major shifts in justice delivery in England and Wales, specifically the digitisation of the courts, while examining the inclusion framework and its implications.A key theme was the impact of the reform on those who are digitally challenged. This raised a prevalent question: ‘If Smart Banking can take off, why not Smart Resolution?’We also highlighted why funding, as well as qualitative and quantitative data, must remain central, drawing on comparative research from other jurisdictions to show how these elements shape success in court digitisation.Stay tuned for Series 2, where we will continue to discuss the aforementioned subject matter!Sending love, peace, light, hope, and faith,Chi & TonyCo-Host and Producers of the ADR Across the Globe Podcast#ADR #Mediation #CourtReform #EnglandAndWales #AccesstoJustice #England #Wales #DisputeResolution #Comparative #Analysis #Countries #Interview #World#Factual #History #Education #Awareness #Podcast #Globe #BritishPodcastAwards #Highereducation #Brits #British #research #banking #smart #resolution #Digitisation #Diversity #Equality #Inclusion #dei #accesstojustice #podcast #toxicworkplace #justice #reform #hostculture #teachingpedagogy #pedagogy #youtube #marketing #marketingadr #technology #digitaltechnology #inclusion #diversity #equity #innovation #research #education #awareness #factual #history #facts #ontario #life #reallife #peace #highereducation #university #lawschools #news #autocracy #massadvocacyadr #trending #youtubeshorts #street #achievements #selling #subscribe #shortvideo #conflict #talkshow #tv #podcasting #viralvideoyoutube #master #servants #WorkplaceConflict #hr #humanresources #whitepaper #bullying #discrimination #harassment #organisation #jobs #atkinsoncollege #YorkUniversity #employment #employees #world #InclusiveWorkplace #caricom #highereducation #letsmakeadrgoviral #viral #canada #toronto #europe #africa #duet #newyorkcity #caribbean #england #wales #uk #australia #usa #ireland #scotland #northamerica #vancouver #montreal #winnipeg #calgary #ottawa #quebec #youtube #entertainment #southamerica #latinamerica #nigeria #trinidad #tobago #portofspain #trinidadandtobago

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Jon Fleming on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid/Podcast Show. He is a workplace policy specialist and union relations and grievance management expert.

He wears many hats, so I have left the link to his profile: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/jon-fleming.In this series, Jon shared valuable insights on how organisations / higher institutions can create a culture of inclusion and diversity that empowers employees to report instances of bullying, discrimination and harassment.

We analysed the efficacy of Appropriate/Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in combating workplace bullying, discrimination, and harassment while examining the most suitable processes for safeguarding employees from such offences.

We revealed the laws /employers’ legal obligations that are in place to prevent and address such behaviours while examining the encouragement of reporting and resolving such incidents through ADR.

Furthermore, we highlighted the common obstacles that impede employees from reporting, such as fear of retaliation from the organisation or employer.

Finally, Jon shared his personal experience with bullying, discrimination, and harassment, shedding light on cultural nuances that aid and abet these issues. ****If you have experienced workplace bullying, discrimination and harassment, do not stay silent.

I had the honour and privilege of interviewing Dr Dawn De Coteau, FCiArb, on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid /Podcast Show. She is a legal practitioner who practices law in England and Wales and several Caribbean jurisdictions, including Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Christopher, and Nevis. Diverse experience representing clients involved in high-profile matters across a wide breadth of industries. Experienced in corporate, commercial, estates, maritime, internal trade, compliance, professional negligence, regulation, travel and private client. A Fellow of CIArB experienced both arbitration and mediation, having been appointed arbitrator and mediator in various matters pertaining to maritime, estates, commercial and corporate, contentious probates, and family disputes. She wears many hats, so I have left the link to her profile:⁠ https://www.ema-solutions.com/a_team.html.In this series, we focused on the pivotal role of Alternative or Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR) in resolving conflicts and disputes, highlighting its potential to enhance access to justice in the Commonwealth Caribbean (CC) jurisdictions of Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago. Dr. Dawn also shared the exciting news that plans are underway to establish a Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (Ciarb) center in Grenada, which promises to further strengthen the ADR framework in the region.We highlighted that some institutions and organisations in the CC regions or jurisdictions have yet to embrace ADR. For instance, in Trinidad, the sectors mentioned above could greatly benefit from establishing an ombudsman or mediator's office in each department. Additionally, incorporating ADR provisions in the employment contracts to settle disputes between employers and employees as soon as possible could foster a more harmonious work environment. This proactive approach will curb the escalation of conflict or disputes and improve workplace relations.

Further, Dr Dawn indicated the future of international legal research in ADR; in the CC jurisdictions, specifically Grenada, St Kitts, and Nevis. We explored the history and evaluation of the ADR practices in the region.Finally, we scrutinised the extent to which the lawyers in the CC region have embraced ADR.**You can order my book 'Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Comparative Perspectives Nigeria, the UK, and the US' via ⁠#springer⁠: ⁠https://link.springer.com/book/10.100....Please subscribe to the EVA YouTube channel & listen to this episode on all podcast channels- ⁠#audible⁠⁠ #apple⁠⁠ #amazon⁠⁠ #overcast ⁠⁠#google ⁠⁠#spotify⁠⁠ #listennotes⁠⁠ #playerfm⁠⁠ #pocketcasts⁠⁠ #anghami⁠.

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.

His lectures concern civil justice reform and the intersection of ADR with Legal #technology. He wears many hats, so I have left the link to his profile:https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tonyguise.

In this series, Tony explored Bentham’s critiques of the legal system of Bentham's era and compared those insights to our current legal framework, highlighting how many of his ideas remain applicable today. We also included perspectives from his mentees, particularly the valuable contributions of John Stuart Mill and others.

Additionally, we discussed the application of utilitarianism in mass mediation. This approach is non-binary and flexible, making it one of the most preferred ADR methods. Tony's overarching argument is that the outcomes for parties involved in disputes would often be more favourable if they chose mediation over traditional binary methods. For example, consider the implications of processing hundreds of thousands of cases through pre-court mandatory mediation—would there be sufficient mediators and mediation advocates to manage such a workload?

Moreover, we examined whether the mediation process is prearranged as it has been in England and Wales, utilising telephone and email—both technologies dating back to the 20th century.

This highlights the necessity for innovation in legal technology; on a larger scale, we must assess success through clear criteria. For instance, are we effectively reducing waiting times and hearing durations? While resolving cases may be expedient, we must also consider parties' satisfaction levels with these resolutions.

Tony revealed that Bentham’s philosophical or hedonistic calculus underscores the need for empirical and quantitative evidence, demonstrating the potential role of legal technology in enhancing our understanding of mediation outcomes. To achieve this, Tony suggested that ADR centres implement routine evaluations at the outset and reassess after two years to gauge progress and effectiveness. Chinwe also emphasised the importance of funding and raising awareness. If the government in England & Wales & other jurisdictions actively supports ADR, it will stand the taste of time.

Chinwe likened Jeremy Bentham to Nostradamus, who foresaw future events. This comparison positions Bentham as a visionary whose ideas or thoughts on justice now align with contemporary methods of conflict resolution, such as ADR.Tony expressed his appreciation for the empirical data on public awareness from various states in the U.S. presented in my book, 'Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Comparative Perspectives in Nigeria, the U.S., and the UK.' This evidence serves as a strong foundation for advocating greater investment in and awareness of ADR processes.

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Jonathan Wood, FCIArb, on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid/Podcast Show. He was the president of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (Ciarb)-at the time we recorded the interview. He has in-depth knowledge and understanding of Ciarb, having served five (5) years as Chair of the Board of Trustees and eight (8) years as a Trustee. During that time, he has overseen significant growth and change in Ciarb. He wears many hats, so I have left the link to his profile: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-wood-fciarb-93264960. In this series, we analysed the role of Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR), specifically mediation and Arbitration, in resolving conflicts or disputes and how far they have enhanced access to Justice in the UK.

Mr Wood highlighted that ADR is an acronym for Alternative Dispute Resolution, and what it means in broad terms is that it is an 'Alternative' in resolving disputes outside the court system; it is a non-court system process of resolving disputes.

He indicated that it is an acronym first coined by Professor Frank Sander, an American academic, in 1976 and was first mentioned to the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) at a conference by again an American academic, Jonathan Marx, in 1983. We alluded to the fact that, universally, Mediation is a well-known form of resolving disputes outside the court system. On the one hand, Arbitration as an ADR mechanism is different in various jurisdictions. For instance, arbitration is considered a binding adjudicative process in the USA, while the UK view includes mediation, arbitration, early neutral evaluation, and adjudication under the remit of ADR. Mr Wood emphasised that he stands with the English perspective- that arbitration falls within the remit of ADR, recounting his experiences with the Turkish government, where concepts like mediation and arbitration were challenging to distinguish; he came up with an alternative description, 'facilitative negotiation.' We critically analysed the recent case of Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil Borough Council [2023] EWCA Civ 1416, which emerged in the Court of Appeal, UK, overturning doubts cast by a previous case, Halsey, about the court's power to mandate mediation with cost sanctions against recalcitrant or uncooperative parties. The basis of that objection is that it might infringe on Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which provides the right to a fair trial. It is imperative to state that it was a case in which the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) intervened with a number of others to try and educate the court on the very important role of mediation. The outcome of the case led the foundation to enable the court to order the parties to undergo mediation and to stay proceedings whilst they did so. As a result, the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) in the UK have now been changed to allow that to happen in appropriate and proportionate cases; a cost sanction can now be ordered by the court against the party who is recalcitrant or does not want to engage in mediation in good faith. That has heralded a new era of mediation in the UK, which goes hand in glove with access to justice. Mr Wood indicated that justice has become increasingly expensive in courts, while mediation offers a more affordable and expedited solution, which, in turn, enhances access to justice. He revealed the historical development of CIArb and why they might change its name in the future to include 'Mediation.' Finally, he analysed the steps CIArb has taken to handle diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and cybersecurity. #adr #CIArb #arbitration #mediation #peace #peacekeeping#podcast #disputeresolution #technology #jonathanwood #tanzania #turkish #reform #highereducation #university #uk #england #english #wales #ireland #scotland #europe #northamerica #southamerica #africa #asia #australia #latinamerican #world

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 is a Visiting #Lecturer at the University of Middlesex, #Dubai—his lectures concern civil justice reform and the intersection of ADR with Legal #technology. He wears many hats, so I have left the link to his profile: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tonyguise. In this series, we examined Jeremy Bentham’s background and contributions to legal philosophy. Our analysis focused on Bentham’s influential work, ‘An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation,’ examining the ‘hedonistic calculus’, which Bentham introduced as a method for evaluating the 'moral rightness of actions based on their consequences for happiness.' Chinwe suggested that Bentham’s advocacy for a swift justice system was a call for Appropriate /Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Despite not explicitly mentioning ADR, his ideas resonate with the principles of efficiency and accessibility in resolving disputes. Tony examined Bentham’s critiques of the legal system of his time and compared those insights to the current state of the legal system, revealing that his ideas remain relevant today. We also incorporated insights from his mentees, particularly the contributions of John Stuart Mills, amongst others. Chinwe likened Bentham to Nostradamus, who foresaw future events. This comparison positions Bentham as a visionary whose ideas or thoughts on justice now align with contemporary methods of conflict resolution, such as ADR. To reiterate, Bentham's utilitarian principles emphasise ‘the greatest good for the greatest number.’ However, Tony explained why Bentham’s utilitarian principle of utilitarianism can be perceived or seen as a moral and immoral theory. We concluded that Jeremy Bentham’s utilitarianism can enhance the effectiveness of ADR as a viable stand-alone option.

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Blaine Donais, B.A., LL.B., LL.M. (ADR), RPDR, C.MED, WFA on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid/Podcast Show.

He is the president and founder of the Workplace Fairness Institute and author of 'Workplaces That Work and Engaging Unionised Employees' (published by Canada Law Book), as well as the WFI WHITE PAPER on 'Workplace Conflict Management in Canada.' He has spent many years improving working relationships in public and private sectors. He authored the 'Donais Fairness Theory, that Fairness Excellence can be measured and achieved in any workplace.' Blaine is an Adjunct Professor of 'Workplace Dispute Resolution' at Atkinson College, York University, Toronto. He wears many hats, so I have left the links to his profile:   / blaine-donais-ll-b-ll-m-c-med-q-arb-phsa-w...  https://blainedonais.ca/ In this series, Blaine shared valuable insights on how organizations can create a culture of inclusion and diversity that empowers employees to report instances of bullying, discrimination, or harassment.

Drawing from his own experiences with these issues, he highlighted the cultural nuances that contribute to such problems. He emphasised how fostering fairness in the workplace can help prevent or mitigate these behaviours. Blaine explained that there is a direct connection between fairness and conflict.

He pointed out that all conflicts begin with a perceived injurious event. But how does an event come to be perceived as injurious? This is where the concept of fairness becomes relevant.

Further, he explained that Fairness requires three (3) key elements from an organisation: communication, collaboration, and proactive thinking. For example, if I feel disrespected because someone else failed to do their job, that situation represents a potentially perceived injurious event. Chinwe highlighted that this is not the case in some organizations / Institutions; the leaders and HR are not usually fair. Finally, Blaine acknowledged that workplaces globally often resemble the master-and-servant relationships of the medieval period, which bestow significant power upon employers while requiring obedience from employees.

Recognising this dynamic has prompted various countries to explore ways to regulate this form of autocracy in the workplace.

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Blaine Donais, B.A., LL.B., LL.M. (ADR), RPDR, C.MED, WFA on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid/Podcast Show. He is the president and founder of the Workplace Fairness Institute and author of 'Workplaces That Work and Engaging Unionised Employees' (published by Canada Law Book), as well as the WFI WHITE PAPER on 'Workplace Conflict Management in Canada.' He has spent many years improving working relationships in public and private sectors.

We indicated that disputes can escalate because many believe a conflict must involve naming, blaming, and claiming; however, this viewpoint describes a dispute. Blaine further stated that recognising this distinction enhances people's understanding of psychological safety at the workplace. Rather than viewing conflict as only arising between two parties; employers and employees can appreciate the nuances of workplace dynamics, paving the way for more constructive dialogue and resolution. Additionally, we examined the laws and regulations in Canada concerning workplace discrimination, harassment, and bullying while critically analysing how cultural nuances can contribute to the prevention of workplace conflict. Blaine revealed that a "host culture" exists in Canada, where a specific group within the workplace holds more rights and freedoms than others. Although harassment policies are designed to apply equally to all, in practice, they often fail to do so, fostering a culture of fear among those who have the right to speak out. This raises a pertinent question: 'What is necessary to ensure workplace safety? Blaine revealed that to feel comfortable addressing these behaviours encountered at the workplace, individuals or employees need involvement, influence, choice, agency, peer support, and confidentiality—elements that collectively foster a sense of full citizenship. Unfortunately, the above-mentioned cultural factors in some workplaces may discourage individuals or employees from feeling safe enough to express concerns about bullying, discrimination, and harassment.

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Hon.Justice Nelson Ogbuanya on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid /Podcast Show. He is a Judge of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria. Before he was appointed a Judge of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN) in July 2017, he has been a legal practitioner and consultant in corporate and investment law, taxation, labour and industrial relations practice, IP and ICT-related disputes, and also practised as an Arbitrator/ ADR Counselor and Trainer. Hon Justice Nelson Ogbuanya was a Senior Lecturer and Head of the Department of Corporate Law Practice Nigerian Law School and the author of the Council of Legal Education Approved Textbook- “Essentials of Corporate Law Practice in Nigeria” (2010, 2nd Ed.2014). He wears many hats, so I have left the link to his profile: https://ng.linkedin.com/in/nelsonogbuanya. In this episode, we thoroughly explored the establishment of the ADR Center via the NICN and its pivotal role while delving into various aspects of industrial relations in Nigeria. We also scrutinised the state of mediation in Nigeria, tracing its evolution from the pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial eras. Additionally, we examined whether employees are actively encouraged to utilise ADR to address workplace discrimination, bullying, and harassment. Furthermore, we delved into the role of ADR, including statute, in Nigeria's labour disputes and discussed their independence. Finally, we offered valuable insights into the advantages and disadvantages of using mediation to address workplace conflicts, highlighting the importance of ensuring that employees are well-informed about ADR options for addressing potential disputes or conflicts in the workplace.

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Ed Watt on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid/Podcast Show. He started his forty (40) year career in transportation as a front-line worker at the New York City Transit Authority (NYCTA). He rose to the position of Financial Secretary of the largest transit local in North America.

Mr Watt is currently the principal of WattADR, an alternative dispute resolution practice. He mediates in Queens County and Long Island Dispute Resolution Centers and assists in training new mediators in the above DRCs and at Hofstra Law School. He wears many hats, so I left the link to his profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-watt-06b8a811 In this series, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the efficacy of Appropriate/Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in addressing workplace bullying, discrimination, and harassment, focusing on safeguarding employees from such misconduct. Mr. Watt provided a lucid definition of a toxic workplace and elaborated on its connection to Donna Hick's theory for remedying Toxic work environments. We explored the legal framework and employer's obligations to prevent and address workplace discrimination, bullying, and harassment while examining strategies to encourage reporting these incidents through ADR. Additionally, we highlighted common barriers that deter employees from reporting, such as the fear of retaliation from HR/organisation or their employers. Ed contributed insightful perspectives on how organisations can foster a culture of inclusion and diversity that empowers employees to report bullying, discrimination, or harassment. He offered insights from his encounter/ experience with bullying, discrimination, and harassment, highlighting the cultural factors that play a role in these issues. He specifically delved into the impact of broader cultural influences, citing immigration and using the US and UK as examples. Finally, Ed acknowledged that most people are not trained on matters of dignity, which include assaults on identity at the workplace (citing Donna Hicks's books on Dignity, Monica Valkor's writings and his personal observation working in transit); he presented a constructive solution to assist employees in creating safe spaces through ADR to effectively address workplace challenges.

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Diane Dimond, a multiple award-winning freelance journalist, author, syndicated columnist, and former television correspondent who specialises in crime and justice issues, on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. She wears many hats, so I have left the link to her profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianedimond

In this episode, Chinwe provided valuable insights into ‘We're Here to Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong’ and offered a clear definition of mediation. She conducted thorough research using primary and secondary resources, including email interviews and analysis of articles and books. The interviews were conducted with leaders in the legal and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) field to assess the viability of ADR in settling guardianship or conservatorship cases. Based on the research, Chinwe concluded that Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR), specifically Early Dispute Resolution (EDR) and mediation, could be effective in such cases. She emphasised the 'special considerations' that mediators must consider when mediating such disputes. Diane also provided insights into the motivations behind writing the #book .

Furthermore, we explored the absence of #laws allowing guardianship or conservatorship cases to be resolved through ADR before proceeding to the courts. We also examined why the law permits individuals other than family members to assume responsibility for vulnerable individuals and highlighted cases where guardianship was considered necessary but not granted. Diane revealed that there are lots of lovely people in the system, but for the predators, it is all about the money. For example (see chapter 11 of the book), for the judge to keep the case of Eric Kramer, an NFL Quarterback player, open, they had a hearing on whether or not there should be a guardianship or whether the girlfriend was stealing money from him. She revealed that every time there was a hearing, it cost Eric Kramer's confiscated money; it is imperative to state that the courts get all his money every hearing. According to Diane, it cost about $88,000, equivalent to 69,117.19 pounds sterling, and there were multiple hearings every single month for years. Eric revealed to her that this caused him to lose a lot of money. He estimates that he lost about $800,000, equivalent to 628,338.08 Pound sterling, in the court system without receiving the protection he needed. This raises a significant question: Are such practices in the court legal? Unfortunately, Diane revealed that they are because the person in the middle of all this, the ward of the court, is incapacitated and, therefore, unable to hire their own lawyer to fight for them (See Chapter 11 and Chapter 6). We also discussed how guardianship focuses on financial gain for some within the system, yet we acknowledged the presence of many compassionate individuals within the system. Diane also pointed out that guardianship can be used as a tactic to force the end of marriages (see Chapter 9). For instance, some men may want to divorce their wives, but their wives do not want to be #divorced. In these cases, their lawyers may recommend obtaining #guardianship over the wife, making it difficult for her to hire a lawyer to contest the divorce. Diane emphasised that this practice is legal because it is carried out under the guise of a court order (See Chapter 9 of the book for more details).

In further support of the previous point, she highlighted specific examples demonstrating how families have been negatively impacted by the extensive powers wielded by #guardians. For instance, guardians can ban any family member causing problems, and pursuing legal options to resolve these disagreements may not be financially feasible for many individuals.

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking podcast session with Ellie Vilendrer on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid /Podcast Show. She is the Co-Chair of the Early Dispute Resolution (EDR) committee (2020-2024) of the American Bar Association (ABA) Dispute Resolution Section and Vice Chair of the Orange County Bar Association Legislative Resolutions Committee. She is also an appointed Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, an arbitrator, mediator, and settlement counsel. She wears many hats, so I left the links to her profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vilendrer

https://www.youtube.com/c/EllieVilendrer In this episode, we critically analysed the concept of Early Dispute Resolution (EDR) and why it is important to settle conflicts via this mechanism. Ellie gave a first-hand account of how she got into EDR while elucidating how far EDR has enhanced access to Justice. We also explored the impact on the cost and timeframe for settling disputes under EDR compared to litigation. We also highlighted the EDR's working process and how parties can initiate actions via EDR. Furthermore, we elaborated on the significance of the approved Resolution 500 by the House of Delegates American Bar Association (ABA), its impact thus far while indicating the state of ADR and EDR before the approval of Resolution 500.

During my time in Hamtramck, I had the privilege of participating in a stimulating and thought-provoking podcast with Dwydell Garrett, the son of Sarah Sims Garrett. He shared with me the details of a landmark case that lasted over five (5) decades, from 1968 to 2024 - the case of Sarah Sims Garrett et al. v City of Hamtramck.

The case has far-reaching implications for housing disputes in the US and highlights the resilience of the Garrett family and others involved in the class action. It also raises the question of whether appropriate or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) through mediation could have expedited the case’s resolution.

Dwydell--------I believe this case has resulted in a fairer outcome for low-income individuals. It seems that many companies take advantage of the lower class to benefit the wealthier class. However, the community and its people are essential for the city to thrive. They pay taxes and water bills, and without them, the city cannot function. It's crucial to provide housing for the community, and small corner stores are also important as not everyone can easily access larger stores. Therefore, it is vital to support and maintain our community stores to keep our community thriving. #adr #podcast #mediation #litigation #class #action #discrimination #housing #knockknock #tiktok #awareness #case #highereducation #britishpodcastawards #judge #education #research #street #community #outreach #interview #technology #digitaltechnology #university #lawschool #school #oaklandmediationcenter #omc #sarahgarrett #park #son #youtube #innovation #inclusion #diversity #letsmakeadrgoviral #viral #michigan #hamtramck #detroit #us #usa #africa #southamerica #latinamerica #northamerica #europe #gaming #films #animation #music #caribbean #world #trending #tiktok #tseries #youtubeshorts #youtube #founding #education #street #awareness #workplace #tiktok #linkedin #achievements #selling #subscribe #shortvideo #shorts #viral #conflict #talkshow #tv #podcast #podcasting #viralvideo #viralvideos

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking podcast with Alec Chapa on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. Alec is committed to helping groups of people work together more collaboratively, transparently, and effectively. An accomplished mediator, conflict resolution practitioner, and published researcher, he has worked with employers, business owners, landlords and tenants, HR leaders, and nonprofits to prevent and solve legal problems, support collaborative decision-making, and constructively resolve conflicts before they turn into expensive lawsuits.

He wears many hats, so I left the link to his profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alec-chapa-tx In this episode, we offered a detailed analysis of ADR and its relevance in addressing housing disputes in the US. We examined the interconnectedness between ADR and housing-related issues, assessing its suitability and exploring the extent of housing dispute backlogs in the US. Also, we discussed the potential of ADR in alleviating these backlogs in the US courts. Dr Chinwe shared an excerpt from an article on the City and County of San Francisco Government page, underscoring ‘how ADR can be used to settle Housing issues outside the rent ordinance and those that fall under the Rent Ordinance.’ This prompted a discussion about the practical application of this law and its potential applicability in other parts of the US, with Alec providing a comprehensive overview of its implementation in some states.

Against this backdrop, we outlined the step-by-step process for parties to initiate a housing settlement via ADR while scrutinising the eligibility of landlords and tenants to utilise ADR for dispute resolution.

Finally, Alec provided a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of employing ADR to address housing disputes or conflicts and highlighted the necessity for more collaboration among ADR organisations/sections to improve public awareness of the above subject matter.

Tony wears many hats; I have left the link to his profile below: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/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 security 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.

Title: Series 4: Creating Safe Spaces Via ADR: How can Employees in Belgium Report Discrimination, Harassment & Bullying without fear of losing their Jobs with Professor Barney Jordaan

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Professor Barney on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. He was a professor of law and human rights lawyer in South Africa who realised that the law only works for people who can afford it. This sparked his interest in negotiation, mediation and other consensus-seeking approaches to promote a form of “subjective” justice where the law failed to provide sufficient protection. He now focuses on negotiation, conflict leadership and dispute resolution processes resolving disputes that impact organisations. At Vlerick Business School, he teaches the MBA, Masters, open executive, and company-specific programmes. He is the co-founder and vice-chair of the Institute for Negotiation Innovation. He provides negotiation and conflict coaching and helps organisations develop coherent corporate negotiation strategies. Barney wears many hats, so I have left the link to his profile below: https://www.vlerick.com/en/find-faculty-and-experts/barney-jordaan/ In this episode, we examined the definition of ADR and its potential as a tool to combat discrimination, bullying, and harassment in the workplace. Professor Barney highlighted important questions to consider before determining the process to follow. These questions include: 'How serious is the situation, i.e., has the victim suffered any physical, mental, or emotional distress or harm'? In furtherance, we offer a comprehensive overview of the obstacles employees face when reporting these issues. We also consider the critical role that HR departments and organisational leaders play in creating safe and supportive spaces for reporting the issues mentioned earlier via ADR methods. Additionally, we explored strategies organisations can employ to cultivate a culture of diversity and inclusion that encourages employees to come forward with any experiences of bullying, harassment, or discrimination. Finally, Professor Barney proffered practical ways of utilising ADR methods to create a safer and more respectful workplace. The focus was on how those who may have experienced bullying could be supported. #adr #podcast #toxicworkplace #workplaceconflict #bullying #discrimination #harrassment #employees #awareness #disputeresolution #peace #interview #professor #education #mediation #negotiation #highereducation #organisations #HR #technology #digitaltechnology #innovation #vlerickbusinessschool #stellenbosch #universityofcapetown #vousparlezadr #letsmakeadrgoviral #viral #southafrica #capetown #belgium #europe #africa #northamerica #asia #latinoamerica #southamerica #world #trending #tiktok #tseries #youtubeshorts #youtube #founding #education #street #awareness #workplace #linkedin #achievements #subscribe #shortvideo #shorts #viral #conflict #talkshow #tv #podcast #podcasting #viralvideo

Furthermore, we highlighted the common obstacles that impede employees from reporting, such as fear of retaliation from the organization or employer. Lastly, Hershey shared her personal experience with bullying, discrimination, and harassment, shedding light on cultural nuances that aid and abet these issues, including language barriers, education, hair, and proximity to whiteness, among others.

We went ahead to analyse the book chapter by chapter; Ken dealt with questions raised from Chapter 1, specifically 'why mediators should not be neutral and why omni-partiality.' He provided examples to support his point. Prof also addressed questions from Chapter 4 regarding 'the art of asking questions' and 'whether mediation can be used to tackle bullying,' using the conflict in Gaza as an illustration. Subsequently, Ken answered questions from Chapters 6 and 7, which explore the links between mediation, physics, and mathematics. He then delved into Chapter 14, examining mediating death, dying, trauma, and renewal, illustrating his close brush with death and Chapter 11, which highlighted the conflict in Ukraine, using examples from Israel and Iran. Additionally, he critically analysed questions from Chapter 10, which focuses on the topics of colonization, decolonization, and indigenous restorative practices. Finally, he ended with his own ideas on searching for ways of finding, feeding and FORMENTING MAGIC. I highly recommend Ken's book, 'The Magic in Mediation,' as his writing prowess is unparalleled.

Furthermore, we examined the concept of peer mediation and the potential advantages of implementing peer mediation programs. We scrutinised the selection process for student participants and what preventive measures are in place for the data of practitioners registered or who would register with the center. Our discussion also touched on the significant impact of mediation in Oakland and the United States, including how far it has enhanced access to justice and the promotion of diversity and inclusivity in the center. We compared the cost and time involved in settling disputes via mediation compared to litigation and concluded. Finally, Charity revealed the training services offered or provided by the OMC to help practitioners and potential mediators hone their skills in mediation and conflict resolution.

My recent research on the streets of Washington, DC, indicates that Appropriate /Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) may not be as widely known as previously assumed. The study covered various well-known areas, including the White House, United States Supreme Court, Dupont Circle, Massachusetts Avenue, Washington Hilton, Generator Hostel, Connecticut Avenue N.W., Pennsylvania Avenue, and Capitol Hill. The findings reveal that there is still a lack of awareness regarding ADR among the general public. This was highlighted by Ayssia Mason, a prominent podcast host of 'From the Hood up' / 'Always the Topic', who demonstrated a lack of familiarity with ADR. Further efforts are necessary to educate the public about ADR. I will be releasing additional findings and videos soon, so please stay tuned. Shout out to Ayssia Mason! P.S.
