But this is NOT Taught in Law Schools
This is NOT a Subject of Any Bar Exam

“SUSPEND DISBELIEF”



 “The only limits to our realizations

- Franklin D. Roosevelt, 32nd U.S. President
 (1933-1945)

Benefits of CDR Approach

 Culture of Creativity Promotes Better Outcomes
 Underlying System is Based on Zealous Creativity
 Law Firm Structures Must Adapt to Shorten Process
 Mediation Advances; New Discipline is Created
 Lawyers See Judges as Facilitators not Adjudicators
 Judges See Lawyers as Co-Creators not Champions
 Underlying Question: What is the Opportunity Here?
 Neutrals Become Mediators Based on the Foregoing
 Structural Reform Occurs: Lawyers as Peacemakers
                  Copyright © 2012 Jack Russo
Challenges to CDR Approach

 Culture of Adversarial Adjudication
 Underlying System is Based on Zealous Advocacy
 Law Firm Structures Assume Lengthy Litigations
 Mediation is Relatively New; No Mediator Training
 Lawyers See Judges as Adjudicators not Facilitators
 Judges See Lawyers as Champions not Co-Creators
 Underlying Question: Who is Right? Who is Wrong?
 Judges Become Mediators Based on the Foregoing
 Structural Reform Depends on Change of Foregoing
