Listen Later

I was delighted to welcome David Hoffman to the Expert Views on ADR (EVA) Show. David teaches courses on collaborative law and mediation at Harvard Law School. He also serves on the faculty of the Program on Negotiation’s Harvard Negotiation Institute, where he teaches the Advanced Mediation Workshop “Mediating Complex Disputes.”   

David is the founder of Boston Law Collaborative LLC (BLC);  he once served as the Chair of the American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Dispute Resolution. His research interests are Mediation, negotiation, and dispute resolution. He also has several publications to his name.   It is essential to mention that since 2008, David has taught the Mediation course previously taught by Professor Frank Sander.  

Sander is the Founder of the Multi-Door Court House (MDC) in America. The MDC has been replicated in some Jurisdictions worldwide.
