SUMMARY:Fall 2026 ADR Speaker Series: Against Overbroad Nondisclosures
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 7\, 2026 from 12:30-1:30pm (PT)\nAgainst Overbroad Nondisclosures\nGilat Bachar\, Associate Professor\, Temple University Beasley School of Law \nVia Zoom \n  \nSettlement NDAs routinely impose sweeping and often perpetual confidentiality obligations\, yet courts rarely scrutinize their breadth\, leaving many plaintiffs unable to discuss traumatic experiences even with trusted confidants and thereby exacerbating psychological harm. To address these costs\, I propose that courts recognize implied mandatory carve-outs for emotionally taxing events\, allowing limited disclosures to professionals and close confidants and recalibrating contract enforcement to better protect vulnerable parties’ well-being. \n  \nGilat Juli Bachar is an Associate Professor of Law at Temple University Beasley School of Law\, where she teaches and writes in the areas of legal ethics\, tort law\, dispute resolution\, and law and psychology. Her paper “Plaintiffs’ Lawyers’ Disclosure Duties” was the winner of the 2025 Warren E. Burger Prize. Bachar’s research combines theoretical analysis with empirical methods to explore how people perceive and make decisions about civil litigation and settlement\, and how civil justice institutions can balance private dispute resolution with the public values of transparency\, accountability\, and social welfare. Before joining Temple\, she was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Villanova School of Law\, a research fellow at the Stanford Center on the Legal Profession and a litigation fellow at the Center for Justice & Accountability in San Francisco. \n  \nRSVP \n  \nMore information on the Fall 2026 Speaker Series \n

SUMMARY:Fall 2026 ADR Speaker Series - Last Resorts: Using Counter-Design in ADR and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 23\, 2026 from 12:30-1:30pm (PT)\nLast Resorts: Using Counter-Design in ADR and Beyond\nDan Berstein\, MHS | MH Mediate \nAndrew Mamo\, Professor of Law\, University of Cincinnati\, Donald P. Klekamp College of Law \nVia Zoom \nRSVP HERE \nCollaborative conflict resolution processes aren’t always possible\, especially in bureaucracies where communication is limited. When all else fails\, rejected parties can still make progress: Andrew Mamo introduced a theory of “counter-design\,” where parties challenge and reimagine dispute resolution systems through activities like unveiling\, tagging\, and assembling. An example is Dan Berstein’s work convincing dispute resolution organizations to update policies that were stigmatizing mental illness. This workshop uses Dan’s stories as counter-design case studies. Participants will receive tools they can use right away to [1] create better systems so there is no need for counter-design\, and [2] apply counter-design strategies when stuck in a system that is not working. \n  \nAndrew Mamo\nAndrew Mamo is a professor of law at the University of Cincinnati Donald P. Klekamp College of Law. His research concerns the history and theory of dispute resolution and negotiation\, with an emphasis on the history of dispute resolution practices\, the role of technology in dispute resolution\, and the professionalization of dispute resolution. His current projects include a study of the institutionalization of dispute resolution services in the late twentieth century. Mamo received his SB in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, his PhD in history from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and his JD from Harvard Law School. After graduating from law school\, Mamo clerked for Judge Hisashi Owada and Judge Julia Sebutinde of the International Court of Justice in The Hague. He then worked on cross-border capital markets and project finance transactions at a major international law firm in Singapore. Mamo joined Harvard Law School as Lecturer in Law and a Clinical Instructor at the Harvard Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program\, teaching negotiation and supervising teams of clinical students representing clients on a range of dispute systems design projects. Prior to joining the College of Law\, he was an Assistant Professor of Law at Northern Illinois University College of Law. \n  \nDan Berstein\nDan Berstein is a mediator living with bipolar disorder\, working to adapt conflict resolution best practices to promote empowering mental health communication and prevent mental illness discrimination. Since 2012\, Dan’s company\, MH Mediate\, has helped professionals\, organizations\, and government agencies address challenging behaviors without discriminating against people who have mental health conditions. MH Mediate provides free resources to help different stakeholders use conflict resolution tools to prevent mental illness stigma. They are hosted on the Dispute Resolution In Mental Health Initiative (DRMH Initiative) website\, originally funded by the AAA-ICDR Foundation and developed in partnership with the CUNY Dispute Resolution Center. MH Mediate’s Mental Health Safe Project (MH Safe) also provides free addendum content to parties affected by discriminatory guidance about mental illness. Its DisabilityRadar.com website empowers people to anonymously report problems. Dan leads the Rights\, Ethics\, and Voices in Dispute Resolution (REV-DR) project to help parties know their rights and how to respond to misconduct. Mitchell Hamline School of Law’s DRI Press recently published a new edition of Dan’s book\, Mental Health and Conflicts: A Handbook for Empowerment\, which was originally published by the ABA. Dan holds degrees from the Wharton School and the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. \n  \nFor more information on the Fall 2026 ADR Speaker Series\, please visit the CNDR website. \n
