"At last! The definitive response for those wondering how consumers will fare in the e-commerce world. Practical solutions for creating the 'clean, well-lighted' global electronic marketplace." (Scott Cooper, manager for technology policy, Hewlett-Packard) "Online Dispute Resolution by Ethan Katsh and Janet Rifkin, a valuable ODR primer for lawyers, mediators, and business people, will increase in importance with the ongoing rise in global e-commerce, particularly between businesses ('B2B')." (Doug Simpson, legal counsel, Trumbull Services, L.L.C.) "This is a pioneering and important book that will have a lasting effect not only on the field of dispute resolution, but on the whole spectrum of e-commerce-related legal and policy issues. The authors labeling of technology as 'the fourth party' breaks new ground and will shape all further discussions of this topic."
