March 10, 2014 - The School of Law has named Carolyn Kaas, associate professor of law, and Charles Pillsbury, distinguished practitioner in residence for dispute resolution, as the co-directors of its Center on Dispute Resolution.

The change in leadership comes after the center's long-time director, Jennifer Gerarda Brown, was named dean of the School of Law.

Since 1998, the center has created opportunities for both dispute resolution professionals and law students to engage in dialogue and attend training to develop knowledge and skills in this growing field.

The center's offerings include the Quinnipiac-Yale Dispute Resolution Workshop, a lecture series featuring nationally recognized scholars and practitioners. It also hosts a 40-hour mediation training course, which provides a comprehensive introduction to mediation and conflict management for attorneys and other professionals. The center sponsors a biennial dispute resolution symposium with the Connecticut Bar Foundation.
