There are so many sights (or is that sites?) worth seeing on the information highway. It’s hard to find them all, let alone have time to explore them in depth. To save you some time and mileage, here are some recommended destinations this week for conflict resolution professionals:
Stephanie West Allen continues her Legal Highlights series at her blog Idealawg with an interview with the influential Kenneth Cloke, a pioneer and leader in the alternative dispute resolution field.
Erin Gleason at Open Discourse: International Dispute Resolution gets in the last word in the spot-on post “Cross-Cultural Negotiation: The Neutral’s Responsibility“.
Josh Weiss interviews David Lax, author of: 3-d Negotiation: Powerful Tools to Change the Game in Your Most Important Deals, in this week’s edition of Negotiating Tip of the Week.
Victoria Pynchon ponders the extent to which we’re hard-wired for collaboration in “Unhappy Lawyers and the Cooperative Hard Wire” at the Settle It Now Negotiation Blog.
Ross Runkel at his Arbitration Blog asks an important question: “Arbitration – Is Justice Served?”
Geoff Sharp at Mediator Blah…Blah… presents a three-part series on BS detection, here, here, and here. Bring your shovel and hip boots.
Diversity Advantage invites thought on leveraging diversity in a brainstorming session.
Language Log looks at pseudoscience, journalism, and people’s propensity to seek out urban legends which confirm their prejudices, and also takes a poke at doublespeak in the “war on terror”.
Any mediator who’d like to get in on the blogging fun would do well to read Tammy Lenski’s latest post on “Choosing a Name for Your ADR Blog“.
Finally, happy belated birthday and wedding anniversary to Mediation Mensch Dina Lynch!
One of the best ways for me to stay abreast of the latest in legal thinking is to read Blawg Review, the weekly review of the best in law blogging. Hosted each week by a different blogger, Blawg Review takes my curiosity to new places, bringing me a fresh perspective on the world of law and justice.
Sharp, incisive, and savvy, this week’s edition is no exception. Blawg Review #85 is hosted by Australian legal scholar Peter Black at Freedom to Differ, a blog which speaks its mind about law, the internet, and media. Blawg Review #85 takes readers on a tour of law blogs world-wide.
Next week’s Blawg Review will be hosted by Colin Samuels at the dependably excellent Infamy or Praise. Be sure to tune in.
