Mediation and Justice for All:
The Evolution and Impact of ADR in the Courts
We are proud to honor this year's Chuck Newman Award recipient:
Statewide Advisory Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution
The Statewide Advisory Committee on Alternative Dispute Resolution, an expert group of judges, court staff, lawyers, ADR practitioners, and academics, are charged with examining the range of ADR services available within the court system and making recommendations for their improvement and expansion. Along with Committee Chair John S. Kiernan, a retired litigation partner at Debevoise & Plimpton LLC, Justices Gonzalez and Lamendola lead the Committee in its study of mediation, neutral evaluation, arbitration, Community Dispute Resolution Centers, and other alternative ways by which people can peacefully resolve conflicts and disputes without a trial, working with the Office of Court Administration’s (OCA) Division of ADR and the court system’s stakeholders to enhance court-affiliated ADR services and extend their use, as appropriate.

About the Chuck Newman Award
ACR-GNY’s Chuck Newman Award (formerly the Frontline Champion Award) recognizes individuals who have made a meaningful impact on the field of conflict resolution. Chuck Newman Award honorees are named and celebrated at each year's Mediation Settlement Day event.
In 2022, we lost a beacon of light in New York's conflict resolution community. Chuck Newman was a former ACR-GNY president and member of the Roundtable Breakfast organizing committee. Chuck spent over a decade supporting the growth of the conflict resolution field. Still, more than that, he was deeply invested in our conflict resolution community: the people who spend their time and emotional resources to explore peaceful resolutions. In recognition of Chuck and his legacy, ACR-GNY has named an award in his honor.
Thank you to our hosts at AAA-ICDR!
