D. Paul Emond

Professor Emeritus Emond began his law teaching and research career at Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Law in 1973. He joined Osgoode Hall Law School in 1976, where his teaching subjects have included: Property Law; Environmental Protection Law; Land Use Planning; Administrative Law (and two advanced administrative law seminars); Native Rights; and several courses in the field of negotiations, conflict and dispute resolution. In 2015, he retired from Osgoode Hall Law School but continues to be the Director of Osgoode’s Professional LL.M in Alternative Dispute Resolution, the first program of its kind in North America. He is also the owner and President of Emond Publishing, an educational and professional publisher that focuses on the fields of law and justice for the higher education and legal markets.

Since the mid-1990s, Professor Emond’s research and teaching interests have been in the dispute resolution field. He edited and contributed to Commercial Dispute Resolution (1989); co-authored Mediation Advocacy (1998) and, most recently, contributed a chapter to Representative Negotiation (2007). In 2000, Professor Emond was the co-recipient of the OBA Award of Excellence in Alternative Dispute Resolution.

In addition to his teaching, research and graduate supervision, Professor Emond has served as a member of the Environmental Appeal Board; co-chaired the Working Group on the Environment and Taxation for the Fair Tax Commission; and organized conferences and workshops on topics as diverse as dispute resolution, collaborative law and legal expert systems. Professor Emond is much in demand as a workshop leader, trainer and conference speaker on topics in the conflict management, dispute resolution and negotiation fields.
