Just-US / Justice for the Rest of US - Abridged Academic Edition

This is an Abridged Academic edition of the full Commercial Book (Just-US: Justice for the Rest of US (480 pages). This book is intended to be a textbook for Graduate and Law Students.Eighty percent of us can’t afford the justice system we’re told to trust. When an insurer denies a valid claim, a landlord keeps a deposit, or a marriage unravels, the remedy often costs more than the wrong itself - so most people simply walk away. JUST-US refuses to accept that.This is the blueprint for closing the justice gap. At its heart is TeDR™ - Technology-Enhanced Dispute Resolution - a methodology that unites artificial intelligence, emotional-intelligence analytics, a trained Human Element, and an eleven-step eNegotiation™ engine to resolve civil disputes in days rather than years, at a fraction of the cost, with the parties themselves in control.It isn’t a robot judge, and it isn’t 'Zoom for mediation.' It’s a genuine fourth party - one that reads the emotional ninety percent of every conflict, remembers what each side truly needs, and helps them trade for it. Two people once fought over a single orange until someone finally asked why: one wanted the juice, the other the peel. That question changes everything.About this Academic Edition: This condensed edition distills the full thirty-two-chapter work into a focused, classroom-ready text for students, scholars, and practitioners - in law, conflict resolution, peace studies, psychology and emotional intelligence, information technology, and negotiation. It preserves the complete TeDR-TV™ companion video library and adds a purpose-built teaching apparatus: guidance for integrating the book into Canvas and other e-learning platforms, a survey of current research and emerging practice, directed-research project briefs, a teaching resource kit, and a sample syllabus with an assessment bank.Grounded in four decades of negotiation science and the pioneering work of the late Dr. Ted Becker, mediators David W. Puckett and Stanley Zamor deliver both a manifesto and a working plan - for courts, for counsel, for the classroom, and for the rest of us.The technology exists. The models are proven. What’s left is the will to use them - together.
