invitation

 

To celebrate our first twenty years, ADRA is holding a conference on Friday 22 June 2007 at the Australian Museum, Sydney.

 

The program has been designed to appeal to experienced practitioners of dispute resolution, those who use dispute resolution skills as part of their working repertoire and students.  We will be looking back over the past twenty years of dispute resolution in Australia, as well as looking forward to likely developments, particularly in the courts.

 

Our presenters are eager to share their experiences and their views with you.  Time will be allowed after each presentation to review the outcomes for you.

 

Members will receive a substantial discount on the  attendance fee for the Conference, so if you are not yet a member of ADRA, you may submit your application to join together with your conference registration and fee, at the discounted rate.

 

We look forward to you joining with us at the Conference.

 

 

keynote address

 

Dr Vera Ranki has agreed to present to us on The Examined Life.  The Founding Director of the Examined Life Institute, Dr Ranki seeks to bring philosophy out of the ivory tower and directly into our lives.  She describes life as a process, which flourishes by being examined.

 

Dr Ranki has a Doctorate in law and political sciences from Budapest University and a PhD from UNSW.  She is an internationally known, award winning author and researcher.
