THE POUND CONFERENCE AND THE ADEQUACY OF THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION METHOD

Abstract

The article aims to put together the historical basis of the organization of the conflict resolution systems and the judicial procedural systems. It considers the Pound Conference of 1976 and its predecessor of 1906 and the relevant lessons given by Professor Sander to the integration of the alternative dispute resolution systems in the light of a large concept of the judicial systems in the 21st century. The study takes into consideration the quality of the judicial systems and highlights that each alternative dispute resolution method, such mediation, has different rates of quality and quantity. Finally, the article points out the trend of expansion of the multidoor courthouses, considered more adequate and with a higher level of quality, especially in advanced countries.
