This book explores the integration of conflict transformation principles into legal practice, emphasizing the role of dispute resolution as more than a technical exercise. Centered around three core commitments—relational justice, epistemic repair, and transformative practice—the chapters collectively challenge conventional legal approaches that prioritize procedural efficiency over meaningful engagement. Relational justice reframes legal processes as spaces of recognition, repair, and respect, highlighting the human dimension of conflict. Epistemic repair urges legal practitioners to question whose knowledge is valued in legal settings and to address the structural exclusions embedded in seemingly neutral systems. Transformative practice calls for a deeper reimagining of dispute resolution—not just as problem-solving, but as an opportunity to shift how individuals and institutions relate. Drawing on diverse contexts including Indigenous legal traditions, negotiation pedagogy, technology in ADR, and access to justice, the book equips law students and lawyers with tools to respond to conflict with greater empathy, critical insight, and creativity. Rather than viewing law as an endpoint, this collection invites its readers to approach legal practice as an evolving site for relational healing and social transformation. It aims to inspire a generation of practitioners committed to reshaping the justice system from within.

摘要

This book explores the integration of conflict transformation principles into legal practice, emphasizing the role of dispute resolution as more than a technical exercise. Centered around three core commitments—relational justice, epistemic repair, and transformative practice—the chapters collectively challenge conventional legal approaches that prioritize procedural efficiency over meaningful engagement. Relational justice reframes legal processes as spaces of recognition, repair, and respect, highlighting the human dimension of conflict. Epistemic repair urges legal practitioners to question whose knowledge is valued in legal settings and to address the structural exclusions embedded in seemingly neutral systems. Transformative practice calls for a deeper reimagining of dispute resolution—not just as problem-solving, but as an opportunity to shift how individuals and institutions relate. Drawing on diverse contexts including Indigenous legal traditions, negotiation pedagogy, technology in ADR, and access to justice, the book equips law students and lawyers with tools to respond to conflict with greater empathy, critical insight, and creativity. Rather than viewing law as an endpoint, this collection invites its readers to approach legal practice as an evolving site for relational healing and social transformation. It aims to inspire a generation of practitioners committed to reshaping the justice system from within.
