CPR Launches Drafting Dispute Resolution Clauses CLE Training Program

May 26, 2006

The International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution released the latest in its Master Guide Series of Books created by attorneys for attorneys: Drafting Dispute Resolution Clauses. The book:

• Provides over 35 actual dispute resolution clauses from more than 20 companies
• Delivers accessible and sophisticated information on pre-dispute clause drafting, including references to case precedents
• Offers an emphasis on alternative dispute resolution processes and multi-step clauses

According to F. Peter Phillips, Acting CEO and President of CPR Institute, “Drafting the appropriate dispute resolution clause is probably the most important single component in managing the pre-dispute process – and it is one that is often overlooked. So often attorneys say, “why didn’t we arrive at a better arbitration or mediation process?” It’s because the initial clause was poorly drafted. CPR’s book provides the exact solution.

CPR has also launched its newest Master Drafting Training Program, which utilizes “Drafting Dispute Resolution Clauses.” This course:

• Is targeted to those who must draft or interpret dispute resolution clauses
• Provides analysis of current cases giving rise to areas of conflict in clause drafting
• Awards 2 Skills and .5 Ethics New York CLE credits

Other books in the Master Guide Book Series are:

• Avoiding and Resolving Information Technology Disputes
• Commercial Mediation in Europe
• Patent Mediation
