UC Hastings CNDR Receives JAMS Grant

The UC Hastings Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution (CNDR) has been awarded a $45,650 Foundation Grant by the JAMS Foundation. The award is one of four given by the JAMS Foundation to "organizations using innovative ways to promote and advance conflict prevention and dispute resolution."

Funds from the grant will support a five-day intensive training institute in court-ADR (alternative dispute resolution) systems, to be held at UC Hastings from June 20-24, 2011. Designed for non-U.S. lawyers, judges and court administrators, the training will include both practical and theoretical instruction as well as opportunities to observe court-based ADR programs and meet with local ADR judges, practitioners and scholars.

The non-profit JAMS Foundation is the largest private provider of ADR-related grants in the world. "These organizations share the JAMS Foundation's commitment to providing innovative and effective dispute resolution training and services," said the Foundation's Executive Director, Jay Folberg. "We are proud to support their efforts to respond to the needs of the communities they serve."
