CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution

URL: http://www.cpradr.org/
The CPR (Center for Public Resources) Institute for Dispute Resolution is an alliance of global corporations, leading law firms, legal academics and selected public institutions. Its mission is to make the legal profession the preferred delivery system of alternate dispute resolution (ADR) by installing ADR into the mainstream of corporate law departments and law firm practice. CPR's website contains its mission statement and discussion about the process of ADR, as well as list of its members, both individual and corporate. The website also hosts the roster of corporate signers who have pledged to seriously explore negotiation or ADR in cases with other signatories before pursuing full-scale litigation. Visitors to the site can view these Dispute Resolution Commitments as arranged by industry and practice, as well as search for signatory companies by name. The website hosts a copy of CPR's draft Model Rule of Professional Conduct for The Lawyer as Third Party Neutral, as well as other judicial, academic, and ethical project papers.

European Integration online Papers

Published since 1997 by the executive committee of the European Communities Studies Association-Austria, European Integration online Papers (EIoP) bills itself as "the first peer reviewed online working paper series in the field of European integration." The papers published by EIoP are multidisciplinary, dealing with political, legal, economic, historical and sociological questions in the context of European integration. Unlike a journal, which is published in discrete issues, EIoP is a continuously updated collection of articles. When a new article is published, the oldest paper in the "current issue" is moved to an archive. Users can subscribe to a service that sends an email alert each time a new article is added to the collection. At present, there is a total of 59 articles available. Most articles are in English, but articles in German are also accepted. Abstracts in both languages are provided for each article. Articles may be viewed in either HTML or PDF format. Users are invited to submit their comments about the current articles; comments are available for other users to read. The site does not have a search engine; archived articles are arranged in chronological order. German speakers may be disappointed that the link pointing to a German version of the site was non-functional at the time of this review.
