Giuseppe de Palo<\/a> and I first met in 1999 or 2000, when I was bowled over the first time I learned about his work with The ADR Center in Rome.\u00a0 Since that time, every occasion I meet Giuseppe I am reminded what a powerhouse of talent, ambition, energy and aspiration he is.\u00a0 Both his intellect and his physical energy make having a cup of coffee like saying hi to a tornado.\u00a0 His recent e-mail proves no exception.<\/p>\n

ADR Center is now a member of JAMS International<\/a>, and Giuseppe advises that\u00a0“our ”mega’ project, ‘Lawyers and ADR,’ is about to come to an end.”\u00a0 If Giuseppe says it’s “mega,” you know we’re talking big.<\/p>\n

And big it is.\u00a0 “Lawyers in ADR” comprises three connected, EU-funded projects to promote the purposes of the EU Directive on ADR.\u00a0 As Project Director, Giuseppe has created a web site to encourage greater sophistication in ADR by European lawyers; conducted a survey <\/a>to gather data on the cost of not using mediation;\u00a0published eight e-books<\/a> in eight languages\u00a0on mediation advocacy (the English language one authored by our hero Dwight Golann); and prepared a video <\/a>on cross-border mediation that is currently being translated into 23 EU languages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

(If you want to count ’em up, that’s Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, English, French, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Irish, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portugal, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish and German.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In\u00a0his spare time, Giuseppe\u00a0has arranged an international conference to present the project’s products, offered training courses for EU lawyers <\/a>on civil and commercial mediation; continued his teaching at Hamline<\/a>; and grown wings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

(Just kidding about the wings….)<\/p>\n

The project web site <\/a>is an impressive piece of work,.\u00a0 Those of us who have labored on the Directive can only be thankful that Prof. De Palo continues his esteemable work to make it happen in Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
