However, two years ago when I first started writing this column, I never would have believed that the Web boom would apply to a field such as Conflict Resolution. Well, folks, I have to tell you that Conflict Resolution has not been excluded from the Internet growth phenomenon. As is so often the case with this column, this month's article will once again feature newly launched sites. Fortunately for those of us interested in dispute resolution, keeping current is becoming a much easier task because of the increasing number of sites offering solid information on the topic. The site's target audience are dispute resolution professionals, lawyers, and business people.

This is another searchable web site that offers everything from news about conflict resolution to web site development plans for dispute resolution professionals. But since it provides links to so many ADR resources, it would be a useful site for dispute resolution professionals and laypersons alike. The site host is John Livingood, a dispute resolution professional in Maryland. The site is little more than a list of links to a variety of dispute resolution resources. The list, however, is comprehensive and includes professional organizations, government and non-government programs, conflict resolution centers, online training programs, and books on the topics of ADR and conflict resolution.
