Northern California ADR Faculty Conference 2020
UC Law SF’ Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution hosted this year’s NorCal Faculty ADR Conference, an annual gathering to share best teaching practices for ADR and Negotiation. With our co-host, the Martin Daniel Gould Center for Conflict Resolution at Stanford Law School, the conference held on February 22, 2020 was the 17th year we have gathered law, business school, and undergrad ADR and Negotiation faculty from throughout Northern California to explore new topics and innovations in pedagogy.
CNDR thanks our wonderful presenters and guests for a fantastic morning of learning and connecting. The presentations were received with many interactive questions, and everyone enjoyed the opportunity to network with other professors and meet each other in person! We hope you join us next year!
