Judicial dispute resolution in Canada with Associate Professor Archie Zariski A session jointly presented with IAMA One significant development has been the emergence of mediation conducted by superior court judges in Canada. Although American administrative law judges have done this, few other jurisdictions have embraced this practice. This talk will discuss these issues and present some of the evidence related to them, including the results of an empirical study of judicial dispute resolution (mediation by sitting judges) conducted in Alberta, Canada.
About Archie Zariski Archie is an accredited mediator in Australia and Canada and formerly taught at Murdoch Law School. He currently teaches in the Legal Studies program at Athabasca University, Canada, as well as researching mediation in Malaysia and conducting the mediator training course for IAMA.
Presented with the generous support of Jackson McDonald lawyers.
