ACR-GNY and ADR Notable Present:
November 6 - 1:00pm (Eastern Time)
Five years ago, Profs. Alyson Carrel and Noam Ebner published an article titled, "Mind the Gap: Bringing Technology to the Mediation Table." In it, Carrel and Ebner made a strong case for ADR practitioners to learn about and adopt technology to facilitate their practice. They contended that technology could improve efficiency and quality, may be an obligatory part of professional ethics, and would meet the expectations of clients who increasingly used technology in their personal and professional lives.
Five years later, practitioners have adopted virtual sessions in response to Covid isolation and now face AI as a new technology challenge. This webinar, moderated by ADR Notable founder Gary Doernhoefer, will bring these two prescient professors back together to share their perspectives on what they saw in 2019 that caused them to issue the challenge to the profession, what role they see technology playing in the practice today, and whether their challenge remains relevant for the future of ADR practice.
