Talk:Dispute resolution

Untitled
At what point does the discussion about merger end? I have seen no argument for merger of adjudication and dispute resolution. If the merger heading disappears, does this discussion disappear, too? CAM

The category for adjudication should remain on its own because it has a distinct meaning in the Australian Construction Industry.

I think it should stay. Considering this type of process is available throughout Australia (in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, and Western Australia) as well as New Zealand, it is widespread enough to warrant being present on Wikipedia. Dbmurray

I believe adjudication requires a distinct entry, but the entry on adjudication could be linked to "dispute resolution." Catherine Morris, Director, Peacemakers Trust


 * I agree that the article for adjudication should remain separate. It appears to be a unique form of alternative dispute resolution in the Australian administrative law context. --Coolcaesar 14:12, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Adjudication and dispute resolution are two very different concepts and definitely should not be treated as the same topic here in Wikipedia. Specifically, adjudication is a form of dispute resolution, of which there are many other types. Dispute resolution, in general, is any process undertaken by disputants under the law or elsewhere to resolve their dispute. Forms of dispute resolution including everything from adjudication (and its many sub-forms) to negotiation and even violence. By contrast, adjudication is a type of dispute resolution in which a neutral third party (such as a judge or jury) is empowered by disputants to render a decision in their dispute. Adjudication includes among its various sub-types litigation and arbitration.208.54.95.129 20:21, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that adjudication and dispute resolution are conceptually separate, but there could be improved interplay and cross referencing between the two article. Legis 07:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Non-PC dispute resolutions should be included
Early on, the article says: "One could theoretically include violence or even war as part of this spectrum, but dispute resolution practitioners do not usually do so; violence rarely ends disputes effectively, and indeed, often only escalates them.[citation needed]" While this is a very enlightened-seeming point of view, it seems not-actualy factual. While I don't have citations handy, common sense would dictate that the elimination of one of the disputing parties would result in an ending -- a resolution -- of the dispute.

Oh, sure -- it may not be an equitable resolution, or maybe seen as not a fair or preferable one -- but it strikes me as non-factual to exclude the exercise of physical power as a form of dispute resolution, altogether.

I'll try to remember to check back in a few days and, if there aren't any objections, I'll clean up the wording of that part to include even non-PC forms of dispute resolution.

Support for merger of Alternative Dispute Resolution, Conflict Resolution, Dispute Resolution, Appropriate Dispute Resolution
I support merger of Alternative Dispute Resolution, Conflict Resolution, Dispute Resolution, Appropriate Dispute Resolution pages.

I've been working in the field for some time and earned a graduate degree & juris doctorate focused in ADR (or whatever term best fits for you). The semantics debate in law reviews and in the field itself seems to have died down, as the field has become more established and integrated into the judiciary and businesses.

I would suggest directing searches for Alternative Dispute Resolution, Conflict Resolution, Dispute Resolution, Appropriate Dispute Resolution to one page where information can be consolidate. There are wonderful resources on each of the respective pages but each page differs.

Perhaps a section to a unified page could be added discussing the evolution of the name of field. All the names of the field tend to be used interchangeably but groups may have different preferences based on common usage due to their geographic region, industry, role or educational program.

A unified page would also help educate potential ADR consumers, litigants, the judiciary, industry and the bar. Separate linked pages could focus on particular processes (example: mediation, consensus building, arbitration, etc.), applications and related organizations.

 * I'm not sure ADR, CR, DR, and AppDR need to be directly merged - but they certainly need to contain indications that they are conceptually very similar. It could be useful to tease out the specific benefits of these terms, with regard to which are typically binding/nonbinding, which involve mediation/arbitration, which are qualitative/evaluative, etc.
 * I could work with resources at the International Bar Association to spearhead some of this work; however, I didn't want to start only to have my changes deleted. Can somebody confirm that these additions / clarifications are needed and desired?  LittleKyle (talk) 17:08, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

other methods: dice throws and coin tossing
these have in fact been used during history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.84.95.229 (talk) 11:59, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

As the article arguments, dispute resolution practitioners do not usually use "alternative" methods of resolution. Ferkijel (talk) 11:10, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Some Proposed Changes
Hello, I am employed by Boston University's Fineman & Pappas Law Libraries. After reviewing this Wikipedia page, I believe that information from one of our faculty's scholarship might provide a valuable addition to this page. I would appreciate it if this requested edit could be reviewed.

Extrajudicial dispute resolution
Add citations to Extrajudicial dispute resolution (section):

'''Also, add following information to the end of the paragraph in the Extrajudicial dispute resolution section: ''' There have been concerns raised about the additional factors that corporations consider when participating in ADR. For example, many corporations consider social media presence and influence when deciding how to resolve an issue through a company's internal dispute resolution process and the extent of corporate influence. Hence, there have been concerns raised about the fairness of the process. Despite these concerns, most consumer disputes, specifically, rarely reach the arbitration stage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cf2022 (talk • contribs) 17:57, December 21, 2020 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your contribution. While formulating a perfect definition often becomes a tricky endeavor, I believe we all agree that it is via our collective effort that we will make this article even better. Looking forward to your (and everyone elese's) brilliant ideas! Cheers, Floyd23 (talk) 03:46, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Fix of reference?
Is  correct? Title changed from "Thesis". What is the actual name of the document though? Qwertyxp2000 (talk &#124; contribs) 00:46, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
