Wednesday, April 7, 2010 to Saturday, April 10, 2010

You are cordially invited to attend the world’s largest educational gathering for the dispute resolution field. The Planning Committee has out-done themselves to ensure that the Section’s 12th Annual Spring Conference is full of interesting and informative programs that will challenge and engage you. We could not have asked for a better conference location - in San Francisco, along the scenic and bustling Embarcadero waterfront. The California dispute resolution community has opened its arms to us and we are most appreciative. In addition to offering over 100 CLE programs to choose from, you will get a taste of San Francisco at our very special Welcome Reception at Teatro ZinZanni on Thursday night. On Friday night, the Section will honor some of the best and brightest in dispute resolution at out Awards Dinner Gala. Topics to Include: Representation in Mediation Competition, Collaborative Law Symposium, Annual Symposium on ADR in the Courts, CDRC Open Board Meeting, Opening Plenary/Frank Sander Lecture: Values and Identity Conflicts: Proposing a New Dispute Resolution Doctrine, Arbitration Plenary: Let’s Get the Lead Out! Mediation Plenary: The Psychology of Forgiveness.
