Today is International Conflict Resolution Day and in honor of this important topic, today’s Blawg Review #181 is being hosted by Mediation Channel.com.

No one likes to think or talk about conflict.  It’s a lot like a pre-nup agreement being delivered to a wedding rehearsal dinner.  It’s a necessary evil, with the operative word being “evil.”  Nonetheless, conflict is an inevitable part of business.  It can drive up your costs and if you’re not careful, drive you out of business completely.  The key to success is keeping conflicts from escalating to the point of no return.     

Diane Levin does a masterful job of highlighting the current scuttlebutt in the legal community about this important topic and imparts some wisdom in the process, including a fun Monty Python video clip to help you decide between mediation and litigation.  Enjoy!
