Annual Conference on Dispute Resolution in Indiana
The Annual Conference on Dispute Resolution in Indiana is sponsored by organizations across the state through the Consortium on Dispute Resolution. The day-long affair features a range of speakers, workshops, and participants to reflect the various dispute resolution (DR) services available in Indiana.
The conference
aims to achieve three goals:
 |
Identify existing dispute resolution programs and begin to develop a comprehensive Indiana DR program directory |
|
|
Facilitate knowledge-building and information-sharing |
|
|
Begin the process of collaboration among Indiana DR professionals, volunteers, and organizations |
The most recent conference was held on May 21, 2004 at the Indiana University Law School in Indianapolis, and featured 17 workshops led by professionals with varied backgrounds in the field of dispute resolution.
