Mediation Ethics: From Theory to Practice
Online Panel Discussion with
Professor Nadja Alexander, Assistant Professor Dorcas Quek Anderson and Professor Lisa Toohey
Tuesday 12 October 2021
5:00pm – 6:00pm
Register here to attend on Zoom.
Everyone is welcome.
In this Twilight Webinar, a panel of three international experts will discuss Rachael Field and Jonathan Crowe’s recent book, Mediation Ethics: From Theory to Practice (Edward Elgar, 2020).
Traditional views of mediation ethics focus on mediator neutrality or impartiality. However, Field and Crowe contend these notions are unhelpful and unrealistic when applied to mediation practice. Instead, they propose a new ethical paradigm centred on party self-determination.
The panel will reflect critically on Field and Crowe’s book and discuss the implications of their new paradigm for the future of dispute resolution.
