ALTERNATIVE
DISPUTE
RESOLUTION
TRAINING TOMORROWS
PROBLEM-SOLVERS
At its inception several decades ago, many believed the
legal concept of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
would fail to take hold.
How wrong they were.
Research shows only 2 percent of civil cases are now resolved
by trials, says Professor Mary Bedikian, director of the Michigan
State Law ADR program she launched in 2003. ADR has
brought a cultural change to the way lawyers practice law.
ADR has
This dynamic has made it essential for law schools

to re-think how they train lawyers. The new legal
change to the way lawyers
marketplacein which ADR is institutionalized
practice law. This dynamic has
requires skills that focus on problem-solving
made it essential for law schools
and communication.
The ADR program prepares students for real-life
resolution of cases, both inside and outside the
courtroom. Students learn to present a case and
evidence to an arbitration panel, strategize advocacy
efforts for a civil mediation, and determine the best and
worst alternatives to a negotiated agreement, Bedikian says.

NATIONALLY
RECOGNIZED LEADERS
Bedikian, who has mediated hundreds
of cases, created one of the first
interactive ADR courses in Michigan
in 1987. She served for 28 years as
district vice president for the Detroit
Region of the American Arbitration
Association and was instrumental
in creating the ADR Section of the
State Bar of Michigan. Her extensive
experience in ADR spans many
sectorsincluding labor, commercial,
construction, international, and
employmentand she has trained
mediators and arbitrators in both
the process and substance of ADR.
Bedikian leads MSU Laws ADR

Classroom knowledge and skills are
reinforced by participation in regional,
national, and international ADR
competitions. We have a gifted
group, Pappas says. I enjoy
watching students develop the
confidence to act professionally and
effectively in challenging situations.
The practice of law requires effective
communications skills, and I like to say
that practice does not make perfect
perfect practice makes perfect. So the
self-awareness, planning, listeninga

execute are critical.

Living with Terminal Illness:
Should Adolescent Minors
Make Decisions at the End
of Their Lives?
This years Journal of Medicine and Law symposium examined
whether dying adolescents should be able to make their own
end-of-life medical decisions.
The February 7 event titled Living with Terminal Illness:
Should Adolescent Minors Make Decisions at the End of
Their Lives? featured doctors and scholars varying
perspectives on the challenging topic. Panelists discussed
ethical issues involved, possible frameworks to change
minors decision-making role, and relationships in end-oflife care.
The challenge with teens is that this is a period in which
they are struggling with their own identity and trying to
decide who they are and what kind of values they have,
said Dr. Thomas Tomlinson, who directs MSUs Center for
Ethics and Humanities in the Life Sciences.
They may be perfectly able to understand the facts, but
not really have a stable or mature set of values to use in
making decisions about choices in the face of those facts,
he noted. That can be the challenge in deciding what
degree of autonomy or authority one should provide a
teenage patient when it comes to end-of-life decisions.

AFFILIATION,
Finds Spartan Roots
Clif Haley, 61
Five decades ago, Clif Haley juggled four years of evening
classes at Detroit College of Law with his day job as a labor
relations manager at Chrysler Corporation.
It was the start of a long and rewarding relationship with
DCL and its later incarnation as Michigan State University
College of Lawand one that resulted in years of service and
generous donations to his alma mater.
The Detroit native can thank a few Founding Fathers for
his interest in law. As an undergrad studying philosophy at
University of Detroit, Haley found inspiration in the Federalist
Papers authored by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James
Madisonall lawyersand by philosopher and lawyer
Thomas Jefferson.
A U-D adjunct professora Harvard Law grad and
Fulbright scholaralso played a role. The professor, who
taught Constitutional History like a law course, encouraged
Haley to enroll in law school.
Im extremely proud of being a DCL graduate. The law
school provided a disciplined environment of intellectual
development, and an outstanding legal education that enabled
me to pursue and enjoy a very successful business career,
Haley says. At DCL, I learned the role law plays in every
phase of society. I enjoyed the challenge of both the scholarly
professors and the wonderful array of adjunct professors
practicing attorneys who brought real-life experiences to the
doctrine of law.
He also enjoyed the challenge of competing against very
bright classmates. When he and a classmate represented
DCL in the National Moot Court Competition, Professor
Charles Clarka storied, long-time DCL faculty member and
a Constitutional scholarchallenged students to prepare as
