A Conversation Between Hon. Daniel Weinstein and Kenneth Feinberg, Moderated by Lela Love

On October 8, 2015, the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law's Mediation Clinic celebrated its 30th Anniversary. In honor of this auspicious occasion, two leading alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") masters, the Honorable Daniel Weinstein (Ret.) and Kenneth Feinberg, Esq., convened for a conversation about their remarkable experiences in the ADR field. Feinberg has overseen the administration of settlement funds designed to help the victims of some of the largest disasters in United States history, including the September 11th victim compensation fund and the the BP oil spill. Weinstein is one of the preeminent mediators of large complex disputes, a founder of JAMS and was most recently awarded the Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution's International Advocate for Peace Award.

Lela Love, the director of the Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution, moderated the conversation. What follows is a transcription of this conversation at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.
