Grant Jones - I have academic, educational & professional interests, in Alternative Dispute Resolution in the context of trustees & fiduciaries.
My academic research is resulting in a book . Educationally I am involved with the
Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners ("STEP") in drafting & teaching an ADR certificate. Professionally I have acted in this area.
ADR is amply suited to trust disputes. Parties 'do not want to wash their dirty linen in public'. But the nature of trusts present ADR with some difficulties,
not least of which is the extent to which trust ADR clauses can be valid. These webpages consider that specific difficulty, by looking at trust jurisdictions
that have or do not have a statutory provision for trust ADR. This webpage has various jurisdictions. Given the importance of trusts to the common-law world,
the three major federal common-law jurisdictions of the USA, Canada & Australia have their own webpages. Please click on the USA logo beneath, for the USA web
page and on the Canadian & Australian logo for the Canadian & Australian webpage.
