Dispute Resolution Institute The legal system’s increasing resort to non-adversarial methods of resolving legal disputes reflects not simply dissatisfaction with litigation, but a broader and growing interest in finding new ways to respond to conflict. This search for alternatives presents both opportunities and challenges to our profession and to the way we prepare lawyers for practice. The Dispute Resolution Institute will lead our profession in taking full advantage of these opportunities and responding thoughtfully to these challenges.
