In this series, we analysed: 1) What is the history behind the indigenous method of settling disputes in New Mexico? 2) What is your view on 'whether the Indigenous method or the traditional method of settling disputes (TMSD) in New Mexico is the new ADR or evolved as the new ADR'? 3) Has the indigenous method enhanced Access to Justice in New Mexico? 4) Is there any measurable difference or impact on the Cost and Time Frame for settling disputes under TMSD Compared to litigation? 5) What is the way forward for mass advocacy or awareness of utilising the indigenous method in settling disputes or conflicts? 6) What is the future of International legal research through podcasting, particularly in ADR / Indigenous method of settling disputes? 6) What do you think about its use in the future? Should it be the first option rather than a Second (Alternative) option? #adr #disputeresolution #indegenious #method #awareness #peace #podcast #accesstojustice #traditionalmethodofsettlingdisputes #newmexico #mexico #alaska #usa #nigeria #asia
