Welcome to the Dispute Resolution Section

Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law

Section status recognizes the critical importance of negotiation,
collaboration, mediation, neutral evaluation, arbitration and new and
hybrid forms of dispute resolution in all areas of legal practice. The
Section is a forum for improving these processes and the understanding
of dispute resolution alternatives, for enhancing the proficiency of
practitioners and neutrals and increasing the knowledge and availability
of party-selected solutions.
The Section will serve this mission by:
- Creating committees to explore and research developments in ethics,
substantive law, and legislative initiatives relating to our shared
interests
- Sponsoring publication of analysis and opinion on dispute resolution
processes
- Providing continuing legal education and training to practitioners
and neutrals
- Promoting relevant legislation
- Providing commentary on ethical issues affecting dispute
resolution
- Providing a venue for practitioners, law school faculty and
students, and dispute resolution providers to network, exchange ideas,
and to interact with other members of the Bar and to the public on
issues relating to dispute resolution.
To join the section, please e-mail your request to drs@nysba.org. If you would like to join
NYSBA, membership information is available here.
The Section recently submitted comments to the new Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau with respect to the study of arbitration mandated by
the Dodd Frank Act.
