Objective
This project is a study of an essentially un-researched field, internal dispute resolution (IDR), which brings together the law and the interdisciplinary field of ADR. Its goal is to provide a framework for the study and design of the emerging phenomenon of IDR. IDR are internal systems (e.g. an ombudsman, a mediation unit) for the informal resolution of complaints among employees, between employees and management, and, in certain cases, between an agency or a company and its patrons. IDR emerged in the U. S., as a result of legal requirements for the institution of informal avenues for addressing workplace discrimination complaints. Its use has since expanded to other dispute types and the mission of such units now covers organizational improvement and learning. Even in the U.S. where IDR has become widespread, academic research of this trend is scant. The few studies that exist are sharply divided between those who support IDR and view it as an arena in which some of alternative dispute resolution's (ADR) benefits are maximized, and those who object to the privatisation of dispute resolution for fear of mass emasculation of complaints and the disempowerment of "weak" disputants.
In practice, private ADR has grown exponentially in the U.S. and elsewhere, creating a sharp gap between the practical needs of individuals and organizations on the one hand and the normative academic stance on the other. This research project seeks to mitigate the dichotomous debate by offering a paradigm for the fair and effective operation of IDR mechanisms. In doing so, I join a small group of researchers from various disciplines who have explored the conditions necessary for private bodies to operate in publicly accountable ways. The study will develop a theoretical framework through an examination of incipient IDR systems in Israel and an investigation of relevant statutes and literature, thereby filling in a much needed lacuna in ADR literature.
