The Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the State Bar of Michigan will present a virtual seminar on “Restorative Justice Practices” Tuesday, August 13, from noon to 1:30 p.m.
The online program will feature Belinda Dulin, executive director of The Dispute Resolution Center (DRC).
The DRC, in partnership with the Washtenaw County prosecutor, has implemented a survivor-center process that examines the harmful impact of a crime or wrongdoing and considers what can be done to repair that harm. This cooperative model typically includes trained community members who serve as facilitators in a process that aims to achieve offender accountability, reparation to the survivor, and full participation by all parties impacted by the offense including families, schools, courts and community.
Dulin has been involved with conflict resolution programs since 1998. She has a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Master of Arts degree in Dispute Resolution, both from Wayne State University. Prior to becoming involved in community mediation, she worked in the corporate setting assisting with employment disputes.
She began her employment with DRC 2003 as the mediation services coordinator and assisted in launching the Small Claims Mediation Program and the Domestic Relations Motion Day Program. In 2006, she became the director of mediation services.
In the summer of 2007, Dulin accepted the position of executive director and continues to expand the DRC’s services.
Cost for the virtual seminar is $10 for ADR Section members and $40 for non-members. Law students, sitting judges, and CDRC staff and volunteers can attend for free.
