The Sleeping Beauty Conference Series (SBCS) is inspired by the upcoming 10th anniversary of the 2014 symposium of the Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution which asked: Is Mediation a Sleeping Beauty? To awaken Sleeping Beauty the proposed mediation model requires litigants to make a reasonable initial effort at mediation, i.e., to participate in an initial meeting with a mediator, in appropriate cases.
