ATTEMPTING TO DEFINE THE PRACTICE, POUND CONFERENCE ORGANIZERS LAUNCH A WORLDWIDE SERIES ON ADR COMMON GROUND

摘要

Details are emerging for a series of conferences that will pay homage to a seminal 1976 event that is credited with the birth of modern court and commercial conflict resolution practices. The wide-ranging plans to re-do the singular Pound Conference in multiple events as a 40th anniversary commemoration has produced an outline of gatherings, worldwide, that are being designed to cover alternative dispute resolution comprehensively, and encourage its use. The programs will begin in Singapore in March, and are expected to run into 2017.
