[Air-L] Online adjudication?

[Charles Ess]

Dear AoIRists,

On behalf of a legal scholar colleague who is interested in recent
developments in online adjudication, including efforts at e-rulemaking,
online dispute resolution, e-petitioning, and other forms of e-participation
as both implementations of and improvements on some version of Habermas's
more recent (2006) theory of adjudication - specifically:
Sturm¹s concept of multi-partiality ( Sturm and Gadlin, 2007, Conflict
Resolution and Systemic Change, Journal of Dispute Resolution, Vol. 2007:3,
pp. 1 ­ 63.)
And recent works by Claudia Landwehr,
2010, Discourse and Coordination: Modes of Interaction and their Roles in
Political Decision-Making, The Journal of Political Philosophy, Vol. 18:1,
pp. 101­22; 
and Landwehr and Holzinger, 2010, Institutional Determinants of Deliberative
Interaction, European Political Science Review, vol. 2:3, pp. 373­400.

-- suggestions and tips for either additional resources along these lines,
and/or any research groups or centers that may also be focusing on these
threads of scholarship and research?

As always, many thanks in advance,
- charles
