Dispute Resolution | John Jay College of Criminal Justice- City University New York (CUNY); Dispute Resolution Program & Center with Director Prof Maria R. Volpe PhD

Expert Views On ADR (EVA) Vid /Podcast Show

I was privileged to engage in a stimulating and thought-provoking podcast with Professor Maria R. Volpe, PhD, on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid / Podcast Show. She is a professor of Sociology, Director of the Dispute Resolution Program at John Jay College of Criminal Justice - City University of New York, and Director of the CUNY Dispute Resolution Center, a university-wide center focusing on dispute resolution research and innovative program development. At John Jay College, she has created and facilitated town meetings, cops and kids dialogues, Muslim/Non-Muslim student dialogues, Black Jewish Dialogues, intergenerational dialogues, and Asian American student discussions. Since 9/11, she initiated the NYC-DR listserv, the monthly NYC-DR Roundtable Breakfast, and a variety of dispute resolution public awareness initiatives. She wears many hats, so I have left the link to her profile and email address: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-r-volpe-ph-d-9555601 [e-mail] In this episode, we delved into the Dispute Resolution operations at the City University of New York (CUNY) examining its objectives, methods, and the challenges faced in establishing the program and the center. We provided insight into the state of ADR in New York, at the time and how ADR has enhanced access to justice in the United States. Furthermore, we shed light on the significant interest in the ADR educational sector in New York and the profound role and impact of the center not only on the community in New York but also on the broader public beyond New York. Prof Maria emphasised the most remarkable achievements of the center, revealing its dedication to diversity and inclusiveness. Finally, we explored the courses and certificates that they offer and discussed the center's initiatives to educate the public about the benefits of ADR and attract potential users.

I believe that ADR should be made mandatory in schools just like its counterpart litigation is MANDATORY- so students can learn about the numerous benefits of ADR processes. It is time to shift the focus from litigation to ADR; with my research through podcast and publication, I hope to change the current status quo and spread much-needed awareness about the effectiveness of ADR- Dr Chinwe Egbunike.
