Talk:Alternative dispute resolution

203.109.250.xxx ... thanks for the assist on international aspects, a weak spot of mine. F. Lee Horn

While "alternative dispute resolution" should remain as a heading, I would recommend that the material on ADR in this article be severely edited and moved to "dispute resolution." I would remove the material on zombies until it can be supported with some good citations and reference materials. "Alternative dispute resolution" doesn't usually connote methods that result in violence as implied by the author of this segment. I would replace it with a larger section on traditional dispute resolution methods. Unfortunately I don't have time to rewrite this article at the moment. CAM 06:20, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Zombie

The Vodun priests of Haiti are well known for their dispute resolution role which occasionally resulted in the losing party being forced to become a zombie.

What's this? Kim Bruning 10:21, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

i think you need to read between the lines: zombies are well-known for their strange contributions to the wikipedia after losing wikipedia disputes mediated (or sometimes arbitrated) by Vodun admins of Haipedia. ;) Anyway, more seriously, i've put up {{citation needed}} after the Vodun/zombie sentence. Today is 23:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC). If there's no citation within some reasonable delay (1 month?), then i suggest it be removed. Having some history of different examples of alternative dispute resolution can't hurt, but it should be WP:NOR. Non-zombie wikipedia editors might try googling to see if there's any sign of verifiable evidence for the claim. Boud 23:14, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Merge discussion

I oppose merging this with dispute resolution - ADR is a well-defined legal concept that specifically encompasses means of resolving a dispute without resorting to a lawsuit (or, of course, violence). bd2412 T 02:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC) I also oppose the merge for the same reason. ADR is traditionally taught separately from dispute resolution. DR is covered in civil procedure and criminal procedure courses. --Coolcaesar 03:52, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I have removed ther merge tag due to it is missing from the Dispute Resolution Angelbo 21:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I am currently in the ADR program at my law school, and also getting qualified as a mediator. I have books, professors, and a bit of experience to draw from. I will contribute what I can. Greenw47 14:57, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

CUNY

Is the stuff on CUNY not just blatant spam? Doesn't seem terribly encyclopediaic to me. It is probably getting too much slack because it is a university and not a commercial enterprise. Legis 15:17, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
