Message From The Chair

Greetings from the ABA Young Lawyers Division's Dispute Resolution Committee. If you are a young lawyer whose practice involves an area of dispute resolution, such as settlements, arbitration or mediation, this Committee will enhance your practice and improve your knowledge of the dispute resolution field. Our members can take advantage of a variety of publication, speaking and leadership opportunities. Most of the Dispute Resolution Committee's meetings will be held during regularly scheduled teleconferences, the dates and times of which will be communicated via e-mail to members. Contact me if you are interested in being added as a member of the Dispute Resolution Committee. I look forward to working with each and every one of you.
