Registration Opens for Ombuds Day 2022

Registration is now open for the American Bar Association Section of Dispute Resolution (ABA DR) Ombuds Day on October 13, 2022. This marks the fifth year recognizing Ombuds — an impactful profession that has existed for centuries yet remains relatively unknown and underutilized. This year’s event “Ombuds: Resilience, Respect, Resolve” is intended to reflect and include the dynamic and diverse range of its practitioners.

Programming will include on-demand videos featuring “lightning talks” from various Ombuds sharing their journey as well as a live webinar from 1:00-2:30 pm ET focusing on the past and future pathways to the Ombuds field. ABA DR’s podcast, “Resolutions: A Podcast About Dispute Resolution and Prevention” will feature sneak peeks into Ombuds Day 2022 as well as other Ombuds-related topics in upcoming episodes.

Members of any “cooperating entity,” such as International Ombuds Association, United States Ombudsman Association, Coalition of Federal Ombudsman, or National Association of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Programs, can use code CE1050 for a discount at checkout.(ABA Ombuds Day Info; Registration; Resolutions Podcast.)

Organizational Ombuds

Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. They are accessible to a defined population and can advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from Classical Ombuds, mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which also are used widely.

Some other variants include:

Austria -- Ombudsstelle

Brazil -- Ouvidor

Croatia -- pravobranitelji

France -- médiateur/defénseur

Germany -- Ombudspersonen

Italy -- difensore

Netherlands -- ombudspersoon

Norway -- ombudet

Poland -- Rzecznik

Portugal -- provedor

Russia -- омбудсмен

Spain -- ombudsman organizacional

Sweden -- studentombud

Switzerland -- ombudsmann
