We have done so by fostering and training arbitrators, mediators, and other personnel in arbitration and dispute resolution, by conducting research on law and its practice, by devising better methods of ADR, and by promoting collaboration and cooperation among practitioners, researchers, and other people interested in arbitration or ADR.
