Culturally Responsive Alternative Dispute Resolution For Latinos

Weller, Steven; Martin, John A. Nov. 30, 1996

The authors argue that the justice system must become more culturally responsive, first by understanding the differing needs of different Latino cultures and then by devising ways within the constraints of the law to resolve disputes that incorporate those needs. This study examines ways in which Latino families in Maricopa County, Arizona, found help in dealing with domestic disputes through mediation, and subsequently suggests how those services (particularly court-attached mediation) could be improved to better reflect the culture-based needs and expectations of Latino families.
