We might, in this early stage in our mediation history, be well advised to mind these gaps, in the sense of considering and reflecting upon their significance now and for the future. The focus in this article is mainly on the Australian experience, which I shall approach in terms of some broad themes and issues. One foot will be in the accumulated knowledge of the discipline and the other in anecdote, personal reflection on practice and poetic licence.

Laurence Boulle http://epublications.bond.edu.au/law_pubs/116 http://epublications.bond.edu.au/law_pubs/116 Sun, 17 Jun 2007 18:27:30 PDT This chapter deals with the main features and principles of mediation and other alternative dispute resolution processes. While they are hardly new in social organisations, mediation and alternative dispute resolution have become prominent features of the legal and dispute resolution landscapes in contemporary Australia. They have been promoted by a range of varying, and at times, contradictory, factors. These include alternative philosophies of dispute resolution, new understandings of conflict and disputes, perceived shortcomings in the legal system, changing consumer demands and fashions, economic imperatives of cost and delay, entrepreneurial activities by providers of alternative dispute resolution services, and other societal forces. In the context of the legal system they are motivated in terms of the much-publicised shortcomings in the court system generally and litigation in particular. The developments that have emerged from these philosophies and pressures have lead to permanent changes in the way in which conflicts and disputes are approached, managed and resolved in contemporary societies. © Copyright IAMA Laurence Boulle http://epublications.bond.edu.au/law_pubs/86 http://epublications.bond.edu.au/law_pubs/86 Thu, 22 Mar 2007 18:59:01 PDT Extract:Australians have the right of access to the courts, where they can afford it? Yes, that's trite. After all access to the courts is guaranteed by Magna Carta, the Australian constitution and the Rule of Law (unless the High Court refuses special leave). Well perhaps it was, but that's no longer quite so obvious. The Rule of Law (RL) is currently being challenged by the conjoint twins of case management (CM) and alternative dispute resolution (ADR).
