Over the weekend, the World Directory of ADR Blogs gained two new additions to its continually growing catalogue. They are:

PGP Mediation Blog. Published by Phyllis Pollack, an attorney and mediator based in Los Angeles, California, this blog shares news, ideas, and reflections on mediation practice.

Ombuds Blog. With news and information for and about organizational ombuds, this blog is published by Tom Kosakowski, a university ombuds, mediator, and attorney based in Claremont, California. To the best of my knowledge, this is the world’s first blog to focus on the work of the organizational ombuds.

A friendly welcome to both Tom and Phyllis.

In case you missed the announcement last week, the World Directory launched a brand-new feature, a Reading Room where you can browse through the headlines of these blogs and others in its catalogue.

As always, if you wish to add your blog or someone else’s to the World Directory of ADR Blogs, please let me know. It’s a commercial-free site, and there is no cost to be listed. The Directory has information on submitting your blog and submission guidelines.

For those of you who monitor depictions of attorneys or negotiation in popular culture, this video of two lawyers negotiating brings whole new meaning to “getting to yes”.
