ADR Program Guide Available Online By OCE Public Information Office
The Ninth Circuit ADR Program Guide is now available online by clicking on the link in the left menu of this page or by clicking here.
The Program Guide consists of a series of modules for planning and executing programs at annual District Court conferences to review existing ADR processes.
This guide was prepared by the Ninth Circuit Standing Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution, chaired by Senior Circuit Judge Dorothy W. Nelson. Dana Curtis, Esq., who has been a professional mediator for many years and who teaches mediation courses at Stanford Law School's Martin Daniel Gould Center for Conflict Resolution Programs, deserves credit for the lion's share of the work, ably assisted by Robin Donoghue, formerly associated with the CE office.
The development of this Program Guide was made possible by a grant from the JAMS Foundation.
