CHAIR'S CORNER
by John A. Coselli, Jr.
Chair, ADR Section
I am honored to have the opportunity to serve as Chair of the Section for the 19981999
term.
The Section's goals must be guided by its purpose stated in Article 1, Section 2 of the
Section Bylaws, which is to promote the use and quality of Alternative Dispute Resolution
(ADR) in Texas. In the few years since 1992 when the Section was formed, the Section has met
the challenges of its purpose through education in the form of continuing education programs
and seminars, the publication of Dispute Resolution Texas Style, the publication of Ethical
Guidelines for Mediators, the publication of Students for Peace, and our newsletter,
Alternative Resolutions. The Section's leadership has furthered the purpose of the Section by
representing the Section in dealing with issues affecting ADR, such as, credentialing, ethics,
legislation, and where appropriate, as an amicus in litigation. The goals of the Section in the
1998-1999 term will include the continuation of its purpose through these efforts.
In the coming months the Section's goals will also include dealing effectively with
challenges in at least two significant areas:
1.    Legislation: The Texas Legislature convenes the new legislative session on
January 12, 1999. Proposed legislation will begin to surface in the next few months. If the past
continued on page 3
