This article about the Goselin's seems to demonstrate that even in the most public and potentially contentious of divorces that dispute resolution can work in concert, with mediation and arbitration combining to move this divorce forward.

UNCG Conflict Studies and North Carolinians storm ACR
Students and faculty from UNCG's Program in Conflict Studies and Dispute Resolution and conflict professionals from all over North Carolina attended the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR) national conference in Atlanta in force this year. Nine students from both the residential and on-line programs attended and faculty made 5 presentations. At least six other conflict professionals from North Carolina were spotted during the conference, but many more "sightings" were reported.
During the conference, Rev. Nelson and Mrs. Joyce Johnson from Greensboro were honored with the Diversity and Equity Award for their work with the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Project (and later Commission) and the Beloved Community Center.
Despite the conference being held in Atlanta, North Carolina and Greensboro were well represented.

Graduation 2009
The Conflict Resolution Program held its spring graduation ceremony on Saturday May 16th at 11:00 AM at Gateway University Research Park in Brown Summit. Some 45 family, members, and friends were on-hand to support graduates. Dr. Witty offered some remarks and words of wisdom for the graduating students and their families and Dr. Hayes and Dr. Matyok presented several awards to students who distinguished themselves in their graduate work. Dr. Witty also shared that the program will officially change its name to the Program in Conflict Studies and Dispute Resolution, effective June 1, 2009.
The highlight of the morning was a keynote address from Mr. Robin Britt, a former U.S. Congressman and current Executive Director of Guilford Child Development, who challenged students to continue their work in Peace and Conflict Studies stating that this work "is vital to the future" and likened the development and movement of this discipline to the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
