Expert Views On ADR (EVA) Vid /Podcast Show Dr Chinwe Egbunike-Umegbolu

During my time in Hamtramck, I had the privilege of participating in a stimulating and thought-provoking podcast with Dwydell Garrett, the son of Sarah Sims Garrett. He shared with me the details of a landmark case that lasted over five (5) decades, from 1968 to 2024 - the case of Sarah Sims Garrett et al. v City of Hamtramck.

The case has far-reaching implications for housing disputes in the US and highlights the resilience of the Garrett family and others involved in the class action. It also raises the question of whether appropriate or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) through mediation could have expedited the case’s resolution.

Dwydell--------I believe this case has resulted in a fairer outcome for low-income individuals. It seems that many companies take advantage of the lower class to benefit the wealthier class. However, the community and its people are essential for the city to thrive. They pay taxes and water bills, and without them, the city cannot function. It's crucial to provide housing for the community, and small corner stores are also important as not everyone can easily access larger stores. Therefore, it is vital to support and maintain our community stores to keep our community thriving.

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking podcast with Alec Chapa on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. Alec is committed to helping groups of people work together more collaboratively, transparently, and effectively. An accomplished mediator, conflict resolution practitioner, and published researcher, he has worked with employers, business owners, landlords and tenants, HR leaders, and nonprofits to prevent and solve legal problems, support collaborative decision-making, and constructively resolve conflicts before they turn into expensive lawsuits.

He wears many hats, so I left the link to his profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alec-chapa-tx

In this episode, we offered a detailed analysis of ADR and its relevance in addressing housing disputes in the US. We examined the interconnectedness between ADR and housing-related issues, assessing its suitability and exploring the extent of housing dispute backlogs in the US.
Also, we discussed the potential of ADR in alleviating these backlogs in the US courts. Dr Chinwe shared an excerpt from an article on the City and County of San Francisco Government page, underscoring ‘how ADR can be used to settle Housing issues outside the rent ordinance and those that fall under the Rent Ordinance.’ This prompted a discussion about the practical application of this law and its potential applicability in other parts of the US, with Alec providing a comprehensive overview of its implementation in some states.

Against this backdrop, we outlined the step-by-step process for parties to initiate a housing settlement via ADR while scrutinising the eligibility of landlords and tenants to utilise ADR for dispute resolution.

Finally, Alec provided a comprehensive analysis of the benefits and drawbacks of employing ADR to address housing disputes or conflicts and highlighted the necessity for more collaboration among ADR organisations/sections to improve public awareness of the above subject matter.

In this series, we delved into the Mitchell Hamline School of Law Dispute Resolution Institute (DRI), examining its objectives, methods, and the challenges it faced during its establishment. We provided insight into the state of ADR in St. Paul, Minnesota, at the time the Institute was founded and how ADR has improved access to justice in the United States.

Furthermore, we shed light on the profound impact of the Institute not only on the community in St. Paul, Minnesota but also on the broader public. Professor Sharon emphasised the Institute’s remarkable achievements, revealing its dedication to diversity and inclusiveness. We explored the courses and certificates that the Institute offers and discussed the future of international legal research, particularly ADR, through podcasting.

Finally, it is worth noting that during Dr. Chinwe's recent visit to St. Paul, Minnesota, she interviewed about twenty (20) individuals from different areas of the city, including the Mall of America, Downtown, and Marshall Avenue. The interviews revealed that none of the individuals knew about ADR, which prompted her to inquire about the Institute's efforts to educate the public and attract potential users. Professor Sharon highlighted the Institute's initiatives aimed at educating the public about the benefits of ADR and attracting potential users.

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:

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.

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.
