Join the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Dispute Resolution Section as we virtually celebrate Conflict Resolution Day on Thursday, Oct. 17, from 4–6 p.m.
A panel of outstanding dispute resolution (DR) professionals will share their knowledge of the arbitration process and how it has changed over the years.
The panel will be preceded by a short presentation on Conflict Resolution Day by the DR Section Council and the reading of a proclamation issued by Governor Maura Healey. Afterward, Arnold Zack will receive the 2024 Professor Frank E.A. Sander Award in Dispute Resolution, honoring the memory and legacy of Frank Sander, a luminary in the field of conflict resolution.
The event will also pay tribute to Judge Paul Chernoff, an accomplished ADR neutral who passed away in 2024, presented by former Sander Award recipient Judge John Cratsley (ret).
