Symposia
Each year, the Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution hosts an annual symposium, which addresses an important and current topic related to dispute resolution.
Since 2012, the annual symposium has been supported by Jed D. Melnick, one of the founding editors of the Journal, and the symposium is now titled the Melnick Annual Symposium.
