Online dispute resolution (‘ODR’) refers to the use of technology to support the settlement of civil and commercial disputes. Platforms began appearing two decades ago offering a plethora of online processes for various types of disputes. ODR has grown exponentially and offers unique features for handling millions of disputes annually and has the potential to significantly increase access to justice across all legal jurisdictions.
In previous ODR Conferences it was noted that ODR can really help courts and improve access to justice. The 17th edition of this conference series (ODR 2017) will bring together stakeholders from around the world, judiciaries, academics, dispute resolution institutions, online dispute resolution providers and start-ups who will share their expertise in ODR and its integration into court and alternative dispute resolution systems, and illustrate the impact of ODR on access to justice. They will show how such online programmes may be implemented to benefit the administration of dispute resolution, and the direct benefits to our civil, societal and commercial life in general. The ultimate results are the benefits that individuals, societies, businesses and courts draw from facilitated resolution of disputes and avoidance of bureaucracy.
This is a must-attend event as ODR is an area with huge potential in a world where technology is part of our life.
Who should attend?
Legal & dispute resolution communities including judiciary, academics & researchers, corporation representatives, dispute resolution institutions & providers, national and state governmental departments in charge of online programmes, non-governmental organisations, start-ups & established global companies, IT schools.
