Abstract

This article proposes a framework for analyzing dispute systems. The framework should be useful to attorneys practicing in a wide spectrum of settings who may need to diagnose or design a dispute system, as well as to professors of law who wish to incorporate dispute systems analysis and design into their curricula. The framework is helpful to understand dispute systems design in three contexts: (1) analyzing a system historically to understand its evolution, functioning, and impacts (as might be done by an academic or a system design advisor); (2) advising on the best process to create the design, or more likely redesign, mechanism for a system; and (3) designing (or redesigning) a system itself.
