Rob Nelson Wrote the Book on ADR

Thirty years in dispute resolution have raised my concern about certain legal processes becoming potentially unmanageable. Clients today are extremely sensitive to the cost (financial and personal) of conflict. Hence, I have increasingly supported effective negotiation, mediation and arbitration techniques, albeit within and under the shadow and guidance of the Courts and the law. Lawyers must master these techniques or be left behind.

Writing this book has strengthened my conviction that a desire for effective settlement of disputes is an ancient wish which has been recently rediscovered. The energy and success of dispute resolution processes today is a testament to their historic roots.
