This discussion will focus on the foundational values of mediation, negotiation and modern hybrid forms of dispute resolution, as these processes have been institutionalized in courts and contracts and now much changed with online dispute resolution. What does this mean for our individual practices, for disputants and for the field in general? Are we "adaptable" dispute resolution (accessible, no longer "alternative" but still aspirational?
