Conference Description

Although the capability for ODR has existed for years, the legal and technology communities are only beginning to bridge the gap between potential and actual use of ODR.  There are many open questions.  How will the promise of ODR to resolve disputes efficiently and fairly be realized?  How will ODR affect the practice of law?  What are the specific applications where ODR has provided and will provide the most benefit?  Is regulation of ODR needed at the national, transnational, or international levels?  Topics will include:

• The impact of ODR on the Practice of Law
• The technology of ODR
• ODR in the International Arena

For a list of conference speakers and the schedule, please see the agenda.
