Welcome to our new JDR Staff Members and congratulations to our new Managing Board.

The JDR is pleased to announce the addition of the Mayhew-Hite Report on Dispute Resolution and the Courts to our website.

Each issue contains a lead article unique to the Report, a summary of a recently published or upcoming article in the ADR field, an important case analysis, and a significant student contribution. We hope everyone will enjoy and make frequent use of the Mayhew-Hite Report and please stay tuned as report issues are published throughout the year.
