Online Dispute Resolution and Models of Relational Law and Justice: A Table of Ethical Principles

Abstract

Regulatory systems constitute a set of coordinated complex behavior (individual and collective) which can be grasped through rules, values and principles that constitute the social framework of the law. Relational law, relational justice and the design of regulatory models can be linked to emergent agreement technologies and new versions of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) and Negotiation Support Systems (NSS). We define the notions of public space and information principles, extending the concept of 'second order validity' to the fields of ODR and NSS.

(Zeleznikow 2002) states that when considering decision making as a knowledge-manufacturing process, the purpose of a decision support system is to help the user manage knowledge.…”
