Dickinson Wright to work with Community Dispute Resolution Program Centers
Resolution Services Center of Central Michigan announced this week a mediation/pro bono collaboration between the law firm of Dickinson Wright PLLC and the 18 Community Dispute Resolution Program (CDRP) Centers in Michigan.
This collaboration will allow attorneys at Dickinson Wright, who are trained mediators, to perform pro bono work under the guidelines of the firms’ pro bono committee, while donating their time as mediators to Resolution Services Center of Central Michigan, and the other 17 dispute centers throughout Michigan.
The Community Dispute Resolution Program was established by statute in 1988. The dispute resolution centers throughout Michigan provide mediation services to the communities they serve, in a wide variety of subject areas including civil law, domestic, elder law, and special education.
Mediation and conciliation services provided by the Centers give individuals, businesses and attorneys a means to resolve disputes that are alternatives to the judicial process.
The Dickinson Wright law firm has more than 400 attorneys working in more than 40 practice areas. They have 15 offices in 7 states, Canada and the District of Columbia; with Michigan offices located in Ann Arbor, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Saginaw and Troy.
