Abstract

This chapter delves into the transformative potential of conflict resolution in legal practice, emphasizing the importance of relational justice and epistemic repair. It explores various dispute resolution methods, including mediation, arbitration, negotiation, and restorative justice, and highlights the need for legal practitioners to approach conflict as a relational and systemic reality. The text underscores the significance of honouring the dignity of participants and creating space for people to feel seen and respected. It also introduces the Haudenosaunee tradition of conflict resolution, reminding readers that Indigenous legal orders are living systems of law with their own norms and procedures. The chapter calls for a shift in legal practice towards a more inclusive and transformative approach, urging future lawyers and legal educators to question inherited systems and design practices that foster mutual understanding and systemic change. It concludes by inviting readers to treat every conflict as an opening to justice, emphasizing the importance of presence, participation, and the pursuit of transformative practice.
