James B. Boskey—intellectual, humanitarian, law professor, mediator--became known and beloved world-over for his publication of The Alternative Newsletter, a resource guide on ADR published quarterly. It was in its tenth year when Jim died in 1999. The publication provided a comprehensive yet very accessible window into the diverse dimensions of the ADR field. In many respects, Jim Boskey—through The Alternative Newsletter--was the voice of the ADR community.
