The workshop was held in a hybrid format, with in person attendees at Campus Center.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An international legal affairs and dispute resolution workshop that featured more than 35 presentations was hosted and managed by a multidisciplinary team of experts at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa, bringing together more than 60 experts in the field.<\/p>\n

The four-day event in October 2023 was organized by the Journal of Legal Affairs and Dispute Resolution in Engineering and Construction<\/em> (LADR<\/abbr><\/em>), and co-sponsored by the Construction Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers. The workshop was supported by Hensel Phelps, UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa College of Engineering<\/a> and the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering<\/a> (CECE<\/abbr>).<\/p>\n

The workshop was held in a hybrid format at the UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Campus Center, and was attended by 63 participants, of whom 35 were online, and 28 were on-site. A total of 36 presentations were made and accompanied by full-length manuscripts that will be published in the peer-reviewed Journal of LADR<\/abbr><\/em>. The workshop offered an opportunity for researchers in this niche area to network and collaborate on future projects.<\/p>\n

All in all, the workshop owes its success to the collaborative effort of faculty and staff from multiple departments and schools of UH<\/abbr>.”<\/p>\n

Singh also acknowledged the assistance from the IT<\/abbr> staff from CECE<\/abbr>, and students from the Information and Computer Sciences Department<\/a> who helped manage the hybrid sessions.<\/p>\n
