Looking at ‘The Divided Community Project’ online
The Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the State Bar of Michigan will present “ADR Lunch and Learn: The Divided Community Project” online Wednesday, April 20, from noon to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.
The Divided Community Project is made up of dispute resolution practitioners, policymakers, scholars and community stakeholders.
Housed in the Moritz College of Law at The Ohio State University, DCP was developed to increase the capacity of communities to meet the challenges of tension, unrest and civil discord.
The presentation will include a “fish-bowl” multi-party roleplay exercise, to be debriefed in facilitated small groups and then in the main session.
Participants will experience DCP’s approach to strengthening and expanding a community’s capacity and resiliency to meet these challenges.
There is no cost to attend the online program.

New ABA CLE policy affirms commitment to diversity
The American Bar Association’s Board of Governors has approved a policy that affirms the association’s commitment to diversity and inclusion, and its support for proactive measures to ensure individuals from all backgrounds have fair opportunities to participate in Continuing Legal Education programs sponsored or co-sponsored by the ABA.
The newly adopted policy specifies that ABA CLE programs and those the ABA co-sponsors advance the aspirations of Goal III of the ABA Mission and Goals: to eliminate bias and enhance diversity.
“With the policy the ABA Board of Governors approved today, the ABA’s commitment to diversity and inclusion will be showcased in every CLE program it makes available to lawyers,” ABA President Reginald Turner said.
The board of governors will receive reports on adherence to the policy at all scheduled board meetings, which take place four times a year.
