Teaching Democracy Through Practice: Collaborative Governance on Campus
The Missouri School of Law Center for the Study of Dispute Resolution held a Symposium in Fall 2017 entitled “The First Amendment on Campus.” At the time, violent conflict had been erupting as marchers advocating white supremacy engaged in hate speech near college and university campuses. Participants in the Symposium sought to balance free speech and academic freedom with civility and respect for diverse viewpoints, while insuring safety in a learning community. The Symposium has made many important contributions to understanding how the field of dispute resolution can address this growing source of conflict
Disputant Preferences for Mediated or Adjudicated Processes in Administrative Agencies: The Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission Settlement Part Program
Previous research examining disputants’ preferences for mediation over more formal adjudicative proceedings is limited and mostly experimental. Moreover, this work has not examined preferences in relation to repeated experience with various types of proceedings. We surveyed disputants who have experienced different types of proceedings in administrative adjudication and administrative law judge mediation in the Settlement Part Program at the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC). We find that the higher the perceptions of procedural justice, the greater the preference for use of mediation. In addition, the more total experience disputants have in the OSHRC dispute system (including both adjudication and settlement judge mediation), the greater their preference for mediation
