Just-Us: Justice for the Rest of Us: Abridged Academic Version

Teach the future of dispute resolution. A concise study edition for law schools and graduate programs in Conflict Resolution.

This Abridged Academic Edition distills JUST-US: Justice for the Rest of Us into a classroom-ready text built around the four-pillar TeDR™ methodology — Artificial Intelligence, Emotional Intelligence, the Human Element, and electronic Negotiation.

Ninety-two percent of low-income Americans who face a civil legal problem get no meaningful help. David W. Puckett and Stanley Zamor argue that the system built to resolve disputes has become too slow, too costly, and too hostile to serve them — and then deliver a working alternative, refined over thirteen years and protected by three patent filings.
