Abstract
(Excerpt)
On October 2, 2009, the American Bankruptcy Institute Law Review, the Hugh L. Carey Center for Dispute Resolution, and the St. John's Institute for Bankruptcy Policy convened respected bankruptcy jurists and dispute resolution scholars to host "ADR Meets Bankruptcy: Cross-Purposes or Cross-Pollination." Bankruptcy is a dispute resolution process unlike other forms of court adjudication, both in the flexibility of the process and in the systemic goals. In many ways, bankruptcy is a form of alternative dispute resolution. Yet there has been little formal engagement between students and practitioners of bankruptcy and students and practitioners of the nominally separate discipline of ADR. This conference represents an initial effort to bring experts from these two worlds together to consider the similarities and differences in their approaches to dispute resolution.
