Our friends at Pepperdine will be hosting a conference entitled Teaching Law School ADR Classes: Mediation, Negotiation, Arbitration and the ADR Overview Course on June 21-22, 2011.  The conference line up looks great with heavyweights like Carrie Menkel–Meadow, Len Riskin, and Nancy Rogers (to name a few), and the programming is both comprehensive and in-depth.  This may be one of those conferences that goes down in the annals of conferences where people say things like –“remember at the Pepperdine conference when . . . .”  As all the cool kids used to say – be there or be square.   

Here’s a blurb from the conference materials:

This two-day conference will combine plenary sessions focusing on teaching all types of ADR courses with breakout tracks for professors interested in mediation, negotiation, arbitration and ADR overview(survey) courses.  All sessions will emphasize interactive discussion among panelists and seminar participants.

And in the full-disclosure department – Andrea, Cynthia and I will be presenting.
