Abstract
The subject for this project was developed in the office of Judge
William Schma, Circuit Court Justice in Kalamazoo County. During
conversation with the judge, his clerk, Steve Hornick, and various
members of the Prosecuting Attorney's Office, I was informed of the
problems within the court system and the desire by all parties
involved to find an acceptable relief to these problems. Following
their leads, I examined another level of conflict resolution which is
beginning to receive much attention. My research introduced me to
community dispute centers, and especially the Center here in
Kalamazoo County. My goal in writing this paper
was to help increase awareness of the current crisis within the court
systems and the efforts being made to correct the situation. I also
wrote it to praise the work being done at the Community Dispute
Resolution Center in Kalamazoo and similar centers throughout the
country. Their efforts at making alternative dispute resolution a
respected arena for conflict resolution have the potential to change
future of the US Justice System for the better.
