i've referred many people to the asian dispute resolution center. i've found that a lot of asian people are reluctant to enter into lawsuits of just hate confrontation. the dispute resolution center gives them a forum to talk over their differences in the presence of specialists who are often bilingual and bicultural without having to go through the formalities of our oft-intimidating and foreign justice system.

if you're interested in law or social work, i'd highly recommend applying for this job. you can do help out members of the asian community as well as gain mediating skills :)
