Established in 1998, the Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution (“CJCR”),
formerly known as the Cardozo Online Journal of Conflict Resolution, has
become a key component of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law’s
commitment to the area of alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”).
ADR encompasses the theory and practice of all methods of conflict
resolution other than litigation. As
a burgeoning field of law, ADR plays a crucial role in nearly all legal
practices. CJCR aims to
contribute positively to the academic discourse in this field.
As such, CJCR’s biannual publication includes a broad range of
notes, articles and commentaries from students, professors and attorneys,
embracing provocative concepts within the field.
In addition, CJCR hosts symposia highlighting some of the most
current and provocative issues.
CJCR complements the various activities and offerings of Cardozo’s Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution, Cardozo’s nationally recognized program in ADR. These activities include: Cardozo’s pioneering mediation clinic; participation in intra-school and national counseling, negotiation and mediation advocacy competitions; a Student Chapter of the ABA Section of Dispute Resolution; as well as various other symposia and events. CJCR provides the Cardozo community with a unique vehicle to deepen and develop its understanding of ADR and continues to contribute to Cardozo’s nationally recognized status as a leader in ADR.
In 2000, CJCR, in conjunction with the Cardozo International Law Students
Association, founded the annual International Advocate for Peace (IAP)
Award. This award honors
individuals who embody Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo’s passion through
their work in international conflict resolution.
Recipients include: President William Jefferson Clinton, Ambassador
Richard Holbrooke, Senator George Mitchell, and John Wallach and Seeds
of Peace.
