- Two Out of Three (15k)
This
Honeyman article argues that except in unusual circumstances, the three main strengths of
ADR cannot all be achieved by any single program—because to a considerable extent,
they turn out to be mutually exclusive in real-world applications. The article appeared in
the January 1995 issue of Negotiation Journal and is based on the author's keynote address
to the 1994 annual conference of the Massachusetts Association of Mediation Programs.
This Honeyman paper was published in the 1992 conference proceedings of the Society of
Professionals in Dispute Resolution (SPIDR).
