Your Journey in Dispute Resolution Starts Here
Students in the Dispute Systems Design Clinic work with organizations and communities who are committed to engaging conflict more effectively and equity. Because we believe that systems should be informed by the people they affect, the heart of our work is listening to and learning from stakeholders. Informed by their perspectives, DSD theory, and best practices in the field, we help our clients envision more just and inclusive systems.
