Expert Views On ADR (EVA) Vid /Podcast Show

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Tony Guise on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. In different capacities, Tony Guise has been at the heart of every major civil justice reform of the past Thirty (30) years. Notable successes include the formation of the Civil Justice Council (CJC) in 1997, the campaign for new court accommodation in 2007 that became the Rolls Building, and, in 2013, #costs budgeting.

Tony ceased to practice as a commercial litigation solicitor in 2016. He now works full-time as the Director of DisputesEfiling.com Limited, an online dispute management platform, and campaigns for civil justice reform. He writes about his work for Solicitors Journal, Mediate.com, and the AOI Journal, among other publications. Tony wears many hats; I have left the link to his profile below: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tonyguise In this series, we provided a brief overview of the Traditional African Methods of Settling Disputes (TAMSD), also known as the Indigenous Methods. This method was the main mode of settling disputes in most African #countries prior to #British #colonisation, which ushered in #litigation- with reference to #Uganda and #Nigeria. We examined the impact of Appropriate / Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), along with the role of technology in improving access to justice in England and Wales. Our discussion also delved into the purpose and impact of DisputesEfiling.com (DEF), including a brief analysis of the recent case of Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil, and we raised a pertinent question: Does the creation of DEF software suggest a growing interest in ADR? Tony presented data-driven examples to analyse the above-mentioned question while indicating the effectiveness of DEF compared to other similar products. We also indicated the cost of downloading DEF software and what measures are in place to prioritise the security and confidentiality of registered practitioners. We went on to revisit Dr Chinwe’s 2020-2021 research findings, one of which revealed room for improvement in lawyers' adoption of ADR across various jurisdictions. Tony shed light on the current situation. In conclusion, Tony critically analysed AI's role in dispute resolution and its impact on the ADR industry in England and Wales.

Title: Series 4: Creating Safe Spaces Via ADR: How can Employees in Belgium Report Discrimination, Harassment & Bullying without fear of losing their Jobs with Professor Barney Jordaan

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Professor Barney on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. He was a professor of law and human rights lawyer in South Africa who realised that the law only works for people who can afford it. This sparked his interest in negotiation, mediation and other consensus-seeking approaches to promote a form of “subjective” justice where the law failed to provide sufficient protection. He now focuses on negotiation, conflict leadership and dispute resolution processes resolving disputes that impact organisations. At Vlerick Business School, he teaches the MBA, Masters, open executive, and company-specific programmes. He is the co-founder and vice-chair of the Institute for Negotiation Innovation. He provides negotiation and conflict coaching and helps organisations develop coherent corporate negotiation strategies. Barney wears many hats, so I have left the link to his profile below: https://www.vlerick.com/en/find-faculty-and-experts/barney-jordaan/ In this episode, we examined the definition of ADR and its potential as a tool to combat discrimination, bullying, and harassment in the workplace. Professor Barney highlighted important questions to consider before determining the process to follow. These questions include: 'How serious is the situation, i.e., has the victim suffered any physical, mental, or emotional distress or harm'? In furtherance, we offer a comprehensive overview of the obstacles employees face when reporting these issues. We also consider the critical role that HR departments and organisational leaders play in creating safe and supportive spaces for reporting the issues mentioned earlier via ADR methods. Additionally, we explored strategies organisations can employ to cultivate a culture of diversity and inclusion that encourages employees to come forward with any experiences of bullying, harassment, or discrimination. Finally, Professor Barney proffered practical ways of utilising ADR methods to create a safer and more respectful workplace. The focus was on how those who may have experienced bullying could be supported. #adr #podcast #toxicworkplace #workplaceconflict #bullying #discrimination #harrassment #employees #awareness #disputeresolution #peace #interview #professor #education #mediation #negotiation #highereducation #organisations #HR #technology #digitaltechnology #innovation #vlerickbusinessschool #stellenbosch #universityofcapetown #vousparlezadr #letsmakeadrgoviral #viral #southafrica #capetown #belgium #europe #africa #northamerica #asia #latinoamerica #southamerica #world #trending #tiktok #tseries #youtubeshorts #youtube #founding #education #street #awareness #workplace #linkedin #achievements #subscribe #shortvideo #shorts #viral #conflict #talkshow #tv #podcast #podcasting #viralvideo

Furthermore, we highlighted the common obstacles that impede employees from reporting, such as fear of retaliation from the organization or employer. Lastly, Hershey shared her personal experience with bullying, discrimination, and harassment, shedding light on cultural nuances that aid and abet these issues, including language barriers, education, hair, and proximity to whiteness, among others.

We went ahead to analyse the book chapter by chapter; Ken dealt with questions raised from Chapter 1, specifically 'why mediators should not be neutral and why omni-partiality.' He provided examples to support his point. Prof also addressed questions from Chapter 4 regarding 'the art of asking questions' and 'whether mediation can be used to tackle bullying,' using the conflict in Gaza as an illustration. Subsequently, Ken answered questions from Chapters 6 and 7, which explore the links between mediation, physics, and mathematics. He then delved into Chapter 14, examining mediating death, dying, trauma, and renewal, illustrating his close brush with death and Chapter 11, which highlighted the conflict in Ukraine, using examples from Israel and Iran. Additionally, he critically analysed questions from Chapter 10, which focuses on the topics of colonization, decolonization, and indigenous restorative practices. Finally, he ended with his own ideas on searching for ways of finding, feeding and FORMENTING MAGIC. I highly recommend Ken's book, 'The Magic in Mediation,' as his writing prowess is unparalleled. Simply put, Ken is a genius and his art of writing is out of this world! His book is a must-read.

My recent research on the streets of Washington, DC, indicates that Appropriate /Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) may not be as widely known as previously assumed. The study covered various well-known areas, including the White House, United States Supreme Court, Dupont Circle, Massachusetts Avenue, Washington Hilton, Generator Hostel, Connecticut Avenue N.W., Pennsylvania Avenue, and Capitol Hill. The findings reveal that there is still a lack of awareness regarding ADR among the general public. This was highlighted by Ayssia Mason, a prominent podcast host of 'From the Hood up' / 'Always the Topic', who demonstrated a lack of familiarity with ADR. Further efforts are necessary to educate the public about ADR. I will be releasing additional findings and videos soon, so please stay tuned. Shout out to Ayssia Mason! P.S.

The Birth of Alternative or Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR) was borne out of delay, frustration and exorbitant cost associated with the adversarial system of settling disputes. The above statement encompasses both developed and developing nations, signifying that Litigation is not the only option; other #appropriate / #alternative methods are available for the masses/citizenry to opt from. #adr has helped the justice system in different jurisdictions -in developed economies, particularly America, the UK and developing economies like Nigeria, to dispense justice swiftly. Thus, it has restored the judicial system's trust, hope, belief, and confidence of the litigants/ disputants. However, recent research conducted by the writer points towards the urgent need for mass awareness advocacy via podcasting in society regarding the use/benefits associated with ADR / Multi-Door Courthouse (MDC). The podcaster recommends #education -mass advocacy on ADR, particularly making ADR #compulsory in schools. This can be disseminated via podcast channels (using Expert Views on ADR (EVA) as a Case study) because the world is fast becoming a global village. Anyone can now access the Internet and listen to experts/advocates discussing ADR and court-connected ADR. Research conducted by the writer in Lagos, Enugu state and recently on the streets of Washington DC, #usa indicates that most people are not aware of what ADR / MDC is. Thus, it is imperative that potential users need to be educated through awareness campaigns in conferences, radio jingles, and podcasts on the ADR processes, advantages, and benefits. This is important because the user’s psyche is still Litigation orientated; thus, the need for continuous mass awareness through technology simplifying ADR is needed- Some of these benefits include Party Autonomy, the flexibility of the process saves time, and it is cost-effective; the need to go back to the grassroots, like primary schools, secondary schools, trade unions and universities, is essential to reorient or reposition people’s mindsets or psyche at early stages is crucial.

ADR should be a part of the school curriculum not as an elective but as a compulsory course because it is also available in litigation. What this does is that it creates a balanced story rather than a one-sided story, as is the case in Nigeria and the United Kingdom. In the university system or educational system, ninety-three (93%) of education is focused on litigation in the university and law schools in Nigeria & most jurisdictions, which means that only Seven (7%) of the teaching is ADR. This is largely because ADR is not a compulsory course but an elective. That means if students graduate eventually, their first port of call is Litigation.

Generally, there is bias everywhere, especially where someone is not yet familiar with the subject matter – humans tend to either criticise or ignore what they are not familiar with. The human mind is such that it takes something that it does not know and shoves it into one category in its mind, and sometimes, this knowledge is inaccurate. The one thing that takes away bias beyond every other thing is personal experience via awareness. if more lawyers train to become mediators, they will create more opportunities to let their expertise be known. More so, awareness campaigns-opportunities whereby traditional leaders, and religious leaders, who have a substantial influence in society, lend words of credence &endorse the use of the ADR; MDC platforms would be a significant step in the right direction. It will go a long way to sensitise the subject matter. The podcaster recommends that MDC in Nigeria/ADR Centers create a podcast channel to disseminate the use of ADR; the wordings used will be simple words so-non-specialist can easily understand, and this will be distributed on other social media platforms. However, informal training from home should come; first, parents should teach their children about ADR. #adr
