Expert Views On ADR (EVA) Vid /Podcast Show

Dr Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu

EVA is a Vid/Podcast about simplifying the Traditional African Method of Settling Disputes or Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR) to attract more users around the world to settle their disputes via Mediation, Arbitration, Collaborative Law, Negotiation, Conciliation and Early Neutral Evaluation. ADR is taken to cover appropriate methods to litigation. Recent research (Umegbolu 2021) depicts that ADR -Mediation is cheaper, faster more flexible than Litigation. Besides that, disputes or conflicts escalate more under litigation (Umegbolu 2021). Do not short-change yourself; insist on #adr! read less

Series 1-TECH AND ADR: Disputesefiling.com with Director Tony Guise #uk
I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Tony Guise on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. In different capacities, Tony Guise has been at the heart of every major civil justice reform of the past Thirty (30) years. Notable successes include the formation of the Civil Justice Council (CJC) in 1997, the campaign for new court accommodation in 2007 that became the Rolls Building, and, in 2013, #costs budgeting. Tony ceased to practice as a commercial litigation solicitor in 2016. He now works full-time as the Director of DisputesEfiling.com Limited, an online dispute management platform, and campaigns for civil justice reform. He writes about his work for Solicitors Journal, Mediate.com, and the AOI Journal, among other publications. Tony wears many hats; I have left the link to his profile below: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/tonyguise In this series, we provided a brief overview of the Traditional African Methods of Settling Disputes (TAMSD), also known as the Indigenous Methods. This method was the main mode of settling disputes in most African #countries prior to #British #colonisation, which ushered in #litigation- with reference to #Uganda and #Nigeria. We examined the impact of Appropriate / Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), along with the role of technology in improving access to justice in England and Wales. Our discussion also delved into the purpose and impact of DisputesEfiling.com (DEF), including a brief analysis of the recent case of Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil, and we raised a pertinent question: Does the creation of DEF software suggest a growing interest in ADR? Tony presented data-driven examples to analyse the above-mentioned question while indicating the effectiveness of DEF compared to other similar products. We also indicated the cost of downloading DEF software and what measures are in place to prioritise the security and confidentiality of registered practitioners. We went on to revisit Dr Chinwe’s 2020-2021 research findings, one of which revealed room for improvement in lawyers' adoption of ADR across various jurisdictions. Tony shed light on the current situation. In conclusion, Tony critically analysed AI's role in dispute resolution and its impact on the ADR industry in England and Wales. NOTE: This podcast was recorded before the Ministry of Justice announced on the 11th of April, 2024, that mediation was to be a required step in every claim for less than £10,000 in England and Wales.

Series 4: Creating Safe Spaces Via ADR: How can Employees in Belgium Report Discrimination, Harassment & Bullying without fear of losing their Jobs - Professor Barney Jordaan
Title: Series 4: Creating Safe Spaces Via ADR: How can Employees in Belgium Report Discrimination, Harassment & Bullying without fear of losing their Jobs with Professor Barney Jordaan I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking conversation with Professor Barney on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. He was a professor of law and human rights lawyer in South Africa who realised that the law only works for people who can afford it. This sparked his interest in negotiation, mediation and other consensus-seeking approaches to promote a form of “subjective” justice where the law failed to provide sufficient protection. He now focuses on negotiation, conflict leadership and dispute resolution processes resolving disputes that impact organisations. At Vlerick Business School, he teaches the MBA, Masters, open executive, and company-specific programmes. He is the co-founder and vice-chair of the Institute for Negotiation Innovation. He provides negotiation and conflict coaching and helps organisations develop coherent corporate negotiation strategies. Barney wears many hats, so I have left the link to his profile below: https://www.vlerick.com/en/find-faculty-and-experts/barney-jordaan/ In this episode, we examined the definition of ADR and its potential as a tool to combat discrimination, bullying, and harassment in the workplace. Professor Barney highlighted important questions to consider before determining the process to follow. These questions include: 'How serious is the situation, i.e., has the victim suffered any physical, mental, or emotional distress or harm'? In furtherance, we offer a comprehensive overview of the obstacles employees face when reporting these issues. We also consider the critical role that HR departments and organisational leaders play in creating safe and supportive spaces for reporting the issues mentioned earlier via ADR methods. Additionally, we explored strategies organisations can employ to cultivate a culture of diversity and inclusion that encourages employees to come forward with any experiences of bullying, harassment, or discrimination. Finally, Professor Barney proffered practical ways of utilising ADR methods to create a safer and more respectful workplace. The focus was on how those who may have experienced bullying could be supported. #adr #podcast #toxicworkplace #workplaceconflict #bullying #discrimination #harrassment #employees #awareness #disputeresolution #peace #interview #professor #education #mediation #negotiation #highereducation #organisations #HR #technology #digitaltechnology #innovation #vlerickbusinessschool #stellenbosch #universityofcapetown #vousparlezadr #letsmakeadrgoviral #viral #southafrica #capetown #belgium #europe #africa #northamerica #asia #latinoamerica #southamerica #world #trending #tiktok #tseries #youtubeshorts #youtube #founding #education #street #awareness #workplace #linkedin #achievements #subscribe #shortvideo #shorts #viral #conflict #talkshow #tv #podcast #podcasting #viralvideo --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chinwe1/message

We went ahead to analyse the book chapter by chapter; Ken dealt with questions raised from Chapter 1, specifically 'why mediators should not be neutral and why omni-partiality.' He provided examples to support his point. Prof also addressed questions from Chapter 4 regarding 'the art of asking questions' and 'whether mediation can be used to tackle bullying,' using the conflict in Gaza as an illustration. Subsequently, Ken answered questions from Chapters 6 and 7, which explore the links between mediation, physics, and mathematics. He then delved into Chapter 14, examining mediating death, dying, trauma, and renewal, illustrating his close brush with death and Chapter 11, which highlighted the conflict in Ukraine, using examples from Israel and Iran. Additionally, he critically analysed questions from Chapter 10, which focuses on the topics of colonization, decolonization, and indigenous restorative practices. Finally, he ended with his own ideas on searching for ways of finding, feeding and FORMENTING MAGIC. I highly recommend Ken's book, 'The Magic in Mediation,' as his writing prowess is unparalleled.

Series 2: Vous Parlez #adr Washington DC! #findings with podcaster Ayssia Mason
My recent research on the streets of Washington, DC, indicates that Appropriate /Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) may not be as widely known as previously assumed. The study covered various well-known areas, including the White House, United States Supreme Court, Dupont Circle, Massachusetts Avenue, Washington Hilton, Generator Hostel, Connecticut Avenue N.W., Pennsylvania Avenue, and Capitol Hill. The findings reveal that there is still a lack of awareness regarding ADR among the general public. This was highlighted by Ayssia Mason, a prominent podcast host of 'From the Hood up' / 'Always the Topic', who demonstrated a lack of familiarity with ADR. Further efforts are necessary to educate the public about ADR. I will be releasing additional findings and videos soon, so please stay tuned. Shout out to Ayssia Mason! P.S.
