Now in its 32nd year of publication, the Ohio State Journal on Dispute Resolution ("JDR") is a student-initiated, student-run publication of The Ohio State University Michael E. Moritz College of Law. The JDR is dedicated to the exploration of alternative forums for and methods of dispute resolution, such as negotiation, mediation, arbitration, summary jury trials, and mini-trials.

The JDR is the official law journal of the American Bar Association’s Section on Dispute Resolution and is a major component of the college’s nationally recognized program on Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR").

The JDR publishes four issues annually, consisting of two articles issues, a bibliography issue, and a symposium issue. Two articles issues contain articles by scholars and practitioners, notes and comments by student staff members, and recent development notes by third-year student staff members. The annotated bibliography issue contains abstracts of over 500 articles, books, other resources on ADR published during the calendar year, and the role of ADR in election dispute.
