Institute for Administrative Justice
The IAJ, a division of the University of the Pacific’s McGeorge School of Law, has gained national recognition as a leading expert on administrative hearing practices and dispute resolution. Since 1972, it has provided services to over 45 federal, State, and local agencies, including the U.S. Army, Social Security Administration, California Department of Education, and California Board of Prison Terms. In addition to mediation and administrative hearing services, the IAJ provides hearing officer training and consults on all aspects of administrative adjudication, including the design of hearing procedures and hearing management systems.
Center for Independent Investigations in the Workplace (CIIW)
Discrimination and harassment (FEHA, Title VII, ADA, ADEA)
“Know the facts– End the dispute.”
CIIW contracts with municipalities, State and local, districts, colleges, universities, and private businesses to provide independent investigations of discrimination and harassment claims. All CIIW investigators are attorneys, and many are experienced adjudicators. However, CIIW investigators remain independent and neutral– they do not advocate on behalf of parties to a dispute. The investigations are designed to meet employers’ obligations to conduct prompt, thorough, and impartial investigations of discrimination and harassment claims in the workplace, but the quality and neutrality of the investigation may also lead to early dispute resolution.
Dispute Resolution Center (DRC)
“Your single source for dispute resolution . . . providing independent mediators, facilitators, hearing officers, arbitrators, and investigators.”
DRC, through its staff of mediators, facilitators, and hearing officers, provides a comprehensive array of dispute resolution services to municipalities, State and local agencies, and businesses.
Mediator and Meeting-Facilitator Services
“Resolve the dispute– Redirect your resources”
