Just Court ADR

The American Arbitration Association – International Centre for Dispute Resolution (AAA-ICDR) has recently launched a Diversity Scholarship which grants diverse law students and professionals with up to $2,000 of financial assistance towards participation in a degree program or fellowship in alternative dispute resolution or attendance at a well-recognized conference. The mission of the Diversity Scholarship Fund is to encourage diversity and inclusion within the field of ADR by supporting the pursuit of knowledge and skill development through training experiences that encourage inclusive leadership growth in the field of ADR. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed quarterly until appropriated funds are expended.
