\"\"<\/a>As followers of the blog know, one of the high points of our trip to Israel was dinner with Justice Aharon Barak and\u00a0his wife Judge Elika Barak.\u00a0 We were also joined by their daughter, Tamar, who is a mediator.\u00a0 Interestingly from the dispute resolution perspective, Justice Barak was the judge who brought mediation to Israel through the Supreme Court, permitting cases to be referred to mediation.\u00a0 In this post, student Olga Kordonskaya reflects on the evening:<\/a><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The Baraks were open and willing to discuss various topics, including dispute resolution and their professions. Justice Barak spoke about criticisms made of him and discussed them in various contexts to help us understand what role he saw for himself in the judiciary. Justice Barak, who brought mediation to Israel, shared his opinions on mediation and its role in Israel and as a vehicle of dispute resolution. Judge Barak, with a different perspective as a labor judge,\u00a0discussed the role of mediation in the labor courts, as well as her experience as a judge there and the challenges that the labor courts face.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Their daughter talked about the challenges of being a full-time mediator in a country where most mediators hold other jobs because there is not enough work, her approach to mediation, and the value of different approaches. In this conversation we had a chance to learn about dispute resolution and to better understand the court structure and the challenges that structure is posing, as well as potential solutions. We also considered what it means to bring a constitutional question in a country with no formal constitution. It was a pleasure being a guest in their home and having a chance to speak with people whose perspectives on dispute resolution in general and alternative dispute resolution specifically come from varied backgrounds. Additionally, it was humbling to have such access to a family that is so essential to the country\u2019s dispute reolution development.<\/p>\n
