The Pace Global Consumer Law Forum and UNCITRAL Collaborate to Present a Colloquium on Global E-Commerce and Online Dispute Resolution
UNCITRAL and the Pace Law School Global Consumer Law Forum are collaborating to present the colloquium "A Fresh Look at Online Dispute Resolution and Global E-Commerce: Toward a Practical and Fair Redress System for the 21st Century Trader (Consumer and Merchant)" to be held at the UN Vienna International Centre on March 29th and 30th. The conference will be held during the same period as the Vis International Arbitration moot and is sponsored by UNCITRAL, Penn State Dickinson School of Law, and the Institute of International Commercial Law at Pace Law School. Leading experts (from government, private sector, academia, and the non-profit sector) will engage in a two-day intensive colloquium analyzing the current cross-border legal frameworks for e-commerce, existing mechanisms for online dispute resolution, and exploring the practicalities of establishing a future global ODR system for both B2B and B2C disputes.

For quicker justice, Dutch can go online for litigation
Amsterdam - Dutch nationals seeking quick and affordable conflict resolution and avoid years of expensive litigation can now take their grievances online - in a virtual court. A so-called e-Court, effectively a private foundation, claims to resolve civil law conflicts within 8 to a maximum 12 weeks, at low cost, during an on-line procedure.

Public meeting to discuss Consumer Protection ODR
"A public meeting of the OAS CIDIP Study Group is taking place at the FTC (Room H-481) tomorrow Friday January 15 at 10:00 AM EST. If you are unable to attend in person, teleconferencing will be available (call in numbers 866-707-6355 (or for international 1-517-308-4300) with the passcode 3553774). We intend to continue our discussion of issues relating to choice of law, applicable law, jurisdiction, enforcement of judgments, and dispute resolution that may be considered in the Organization of American States CIDIP process.
We also intend to discuss the two changes we are considering to the U.S. proposal: (1) adding a model law providing alternate dispute resolution for consumer credit and debit card claims; and (2) developing a model implementation online mediation/arbitration arrangement for cross border consumer disputes."
This should be a fascinating discussion, and I encourage everyone interested in consumer protection ODR to attend.

OECD conference on consumer protection this week
The OECD is meeting in Washington, DC from 8-10 December to convene the conference, "Empowering E-Consumers: Strengthening Consumer Protection in the Internet Economy"
There are quite a few options for remote participation-- you can ask a question (either textually or on video) via Google Moderator, or follow the Twitter at hashtag #ecom.
From the event description:
"E-commerce has evolved dramatically since 1999, when the OECD issued its first Guidelines for Consumer Protection in the Context of Electronic Commerce. Government, business, civil society, international organisations and academics will explore how effective the guidelines are and what new opportunities, obstacles and risks consumers face in today’s online world."
