Welcome
Welcome to the Chicago Chapter of the Association for Conflict Resolution!
The Association for Conflict Resolution Chicago Area Chapter brings together the local dispute resolution community. Our membership represents both experienced professionals and newcomers working in a wide variety of dispute resolution areas, as well as attorneys who want to learn more about the value of ADR and when to recommend its use. Members include mediators, arbitrators, advocates, consultants and academics interested in employment/labor, family, civil, consumer issues and other areas of practice. While other dispute resolution organizations focus on a particular practice area, ACR promotes and explores all areas of dispute resolution.

Membership is open to all interested individuals without practice requirements. Our Chapter includes members from Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin. As an extension of ACR National, our forum addresses dispute resolution practice with a variety of learning and networking opportunities.
