The Current State of ODR

We've reviewed the history of ODR and considered some of the communications theory that can be applied to this work. To wrap up this learning module, here is an infographic that illustrates the current state of ODR in North America. For the full story of ODR in 2012, you'll also want to check out the latest edited volume on the topic, Online Dispute Resolution: Theory and Practice (edited by Mohamed S. Abdel Wahab, Ethan Katsh and Daniel Rainey), currently available at no cost as part of the Cyberweek 2012 celebration! Data for the following infographic, created by Bill Warters, comes from chapter 19 of the book entitled "ODR in North America" written by our ADRhub colleagues Arthur Pearlstein, Bryan Hanson and Noam Ebner.
