A.D.R. & W.W.W.
(Alternative Dispute Resolution & World Wide Web)
By: Timothy J. Mordaunt, AttorneyMediator

The Buffalo Bills tried to create a Web Site, but failed. Why? They could not put 3 W’s together. Arbitrators and Mediators are growing in numbers, but we are still few and far between. Internet resources close the gap of time and distance, and provide a community for the exchange of information and questions. The following resources are useful for professionals as well as for individuals or groups seeking the resolution of issues.

GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENT:

The New York State Council On Divorce Mediation is proud to announce that we now have a domain name and new url address, as follows: http://www.nysmediate.org

The site is new and exciting, as members are listed by county which provides access and advertising not widely available. In addition, mediation resources are provided.
