The American Bankruptcy Institute Law Review, The Hugh L. Carey Center for Dispute Resolution and St. John’s Institute for Bankruptcy Policy present:

ADR Meets Bankruptcy: Cross-Purposes or Cross-Pollination?
As the cost of the formal adjudicative process has continued to climb, alternative of Bankruptcy Policy dispute resolution has become an increasingly important part of the legal landscape. At the same time, economic disruptions have given a new primacy to bankruptcy, as companies and individuals struggle under unprecedented debt obligations. This ground-breaking conference will bring together prominent scholars from the fields of ADR and bankruptcy to investigate the ways that mediation and arbitration intersect with bankruptcy. Drawing on the different perspectives that scholars from each field bring, the conference will provide an opportunity for discussion to stimulate new approaches in both ADR and bankruptcy.
