This Course is for forward-facing professionals interested in exploring the most significant innovations in dispute resolution in recent years: Dispute System Design—the systematic approach to designing dispute resolution; and ODR—processes conducted online to resolve disputes involving e-commerce transactions and more traditional “offline” disputes. In the expanding world of e-commerce and cross-boundary transactions, Systems Design and ODR enable companies to deal with disputes more efficiently, effectively and economically than traditional legal processes. In this course, participants will explore:
- How ODR works and its applications to e-commerce and offline disputes
- How System Design enables businesses to anticipate and prevent disputes before they materialize
- How technology changes the dispute resolution equation
- How to develop ODR standards of practice and apply relevant options from traditional ADR practice
- How “offline” neutrals can transfer their skills to ODR
