I had the honour and privilege of interviewing Dr Dawn De Coteau, FCiArb, on Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Vid /Podcast Show. She is a legal practitioner who practices law in England and Wales and several Caribbean jurisdictions, including Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Christopher, and Nevis. Diverse experience representing clients involved in high-profile matters across a wide breadth of industries. Experienced in corporate, commercial, estates, maritime, internal trade, compliance, professional negligence, regulation, travel and private client. A Fellow of CIArB experienced both arbitration and mediation, having been appointed arbitrator and mediator in various matters pertaining to maritime, estates, commercial and corporate, contentious probates, and family disputes. She wears many hats, so I have left the link to her profile:⁠ https://www.ema-solutions.com/a_team.html.In this series, we focused on the pivotal role of Alternative or Appropriate Dispute Resolution (ADR) in resolving conflicts and disputes, highlighting its potential to enhance access to justice in the Commonwealth Caribbean (CC) jurisdictions of Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago. Dr. Dawn also shared the exciting news that plans are underway to establish a Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (Ciarb) center in Grenada, which promises to further strengthen the ADR framework in the region.We highlighted that some institutions and organisations in the CC regions or jurisdictions have yet to embrace ADR. For instance, in Trinidad, the sectors mentioned above could greatly benefit from establishing an ombudsman or mediator's office in each department. Additionally, incorporating ADR provisions in the employment contracts to settle disputes between employers and employees as soon as possible could foster a more harmonious work environment. This proactive approach will curb the escalation of conflict or disputes and improve workplace relations.

Further, Dr Dawn indicated the future of international legal research in ADR; in the CC jurisdictions, specifically Grenada, St Kitts, and Nevis. We explored the history and evaluation of the ADR practices in the region.Finally, we scrutinised the extent to which the lawyers in the CC region have embraced ADR.**You can order my book 'Appropriate Dispute Resolution in Comparative Perspectives Nigeria, the UK, and the US' via ⁠#springer⁠: ⁠https://link.springer.com/book/10.100....Please subscribe to the EVA YouTube channel & listen to this episode on all podcast channels- ⁠#audible⁠⁠ #apple⁠⁠ #amazon⁠⁠ #overcast ⁠⁠#google ⁠⁠#spotify⁠⁠ #listennotes⁠⁠ #playerfm⁠⁠ #pocketcasts⁠⁠ #anghami⁠.
