Conflict Resolution and the Economic Crisis--A Conference

Date: February 12-13, 2010

The Saltman Center for Conflict Resolution at the Boyd School of Law, UNLV, together with a consortium of local practitioners, is putting together a conference for February 12-13, 2010 that is tentatively entitled:  "The Economic Crisis and Conflict Resolution."  Our goal is to bring together people who have great ideas for how to use conflict  resolution tools to deal with aspects of our ongoing economic crisis.  Some likely topics would include foreclosure and bankruptcy mediation.  We are also looking for speakers on other subjects relating to the crisis, e.g. how to use conflict resolution tools to deal with layoffs, how to design dispute resolution systems when money is short, or how to use dispute resolution to help with new living arrangements. This list is not meant to be an exclusive, but rather to spark your creative juices.
