Overview
This unit investigates Online Dispute Resolution (ODR), 'the application of information and communications technology to the prevention, management, and resolution of disputes' (Katsh and Rule, 2016). Taking a practical and interdisciplinary approach, the unit first examines the emergence of ODR, the range of technologies involved and the contexts in which they are applied. It explores the relationship between ODR and appropriate dispute resolution, and its impact on the work of lawyers and the legal profession. It then moves to consider the regulation and governance of ODR system design and operation. The unit also explores the evaluation of ODR, including its suitability for varieties of disputes and disputants, its impact on access to justice and practical approaches for assessing the performance of ODR systems.
