Have you wanted to explore more ADR-related books? Would you like a group to discuss ADR ideas, thoughts and skills with?
UCCR invites you to join us in exploring informative books in our common genre.
The next meeting of the UCCR Book Club will be December 4, 2026 from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm, via Zoom.
The book will be “The Neutrality Trap” by Bernard Mayer and Jacqueline Font-Guzman
Work for social change through constructive engagement and systems disruption in this practical resource for social change advocates and conflict specialists
In The Neutrality Trap, expert mediators and facilitators Bernard Mayer and Jacqueline N. Font-Guzmán deliver an insightful and practical exploration of how to understand the conflicts we face as social change agents.
You’ll learn about systems disruption and constructive engagement: how to develop the relationships and change strategies that help people, systems, and societies confront their most important social challenges. In this important book, you will:
- Discover how to challenge the status quo in an effective way
- Practice how to “get into good trouble,” and pick the battles worth fighting
- Learn to be strategic in your approach to social change and sustain your efforts over the long term
Perfect for anyone interested in progressing and achieving social justice, The Neutrality Trap is an indispensable guide to engaging in and managing the necessary conflict that comes with meaningful change.
Following the meeting, those in attendance will choose the next UCCR Book Club book. Our plan is to hold four book club meetings per year.
The UCCR Book Club is not intended for CLE or Court Roster credit, but will provide members the opportunity to virtually meet and share in great discussions!
