Join us at the 24th Annual SCMA Conference on November 2-3, 2012! Below are highlights about two of the many exciting workshops scheduled for November 3rd!Technology, Online Dispute Resolution, and Peacebuilding

Technology now plays a key role in conflict resolution, whether that term refers to the formal process of mediation conducted online (ODR) or the use of social media to promote peacebuilding. This session demonstrates two, real-time uses of technology to assist in dispute resolution and addresses the question, “How can technology empower practitioners of conflict resolution?”

Panelists include: Colin Rule, CEO at Modria, Inc. and designer of the PayPal Court, John Haas, Director of the Global Consortium for Sustainable Peace, and Lucy Nusseibeh, director and founder of Middle East Nonviolence and Democracy (MEND).

Employment disputes involve highly-emotional issues on both sides of the table, with unique dynamics, interests, concerns, and settlement considerations that go beyond reaching a monetary agreement. This panel of highly experienced employment practitioners will share in-depth strategies in mediation for addressing the competing emotions and interests of the employer and employee that are essential to reaching resolution, and discuss common non-monetary settlement terms that can either facilitate reaching agreement or create an added impediment that requires further work at mediation.

Panelists include: Sheila Sparks, Vice President and Senior Employment Counsel at Warner Brothers Entertainment, Roxanne Davis, Davis, Gavsie & Hakim, LLP, David Wimmer, Swerdlow, Florence, Sanchez, Swerdlow & Wimmer, and moderated by Steve Paul, Alternative Resolution Centers (ARC).
