This is  certainly relevant to on-line dispute resolution as well.  Why
supply  just forms and legal consultancy.  In the unregulated web
environment,  it would be possible to establish a full fledged legal regime
for the  resolution of disputes via on-line negotiation, mediation  and
arbitration.  The parties. their representatives (lawyers or  non-lawyer
consultants and representatives in the unregulated world wide  web) as well
as the neutrals, mediators and arbitrators, can be located  anywhere in the
world.


Hello Folks,
 
As a solo practitioner full time divorce and civil mediator, I have to tell  
you, I have been doing this for a very long time.  Not in the manner you  are 
describing, but more in the manner of utilizing the internet to especially  
"compress time."
 
Not only do I mediate on the internet, but especially good is the use of  the 
internet for divorce mediation with parties who have Restraining Orders in  
place.
 
I would suggest, that the legal community wake up to the full force and  
presence of the internet, or they will go the way of the "whip and buggy"  
manufacturers.  The internet is now a huge global marketplace.  The  legal profession 
can complain all they want, but it will not stop smart  providers from using 
the internet effectively and profitably, further eroding  legal profitability.
 
Further, I would suggest that the legal profession has done this to  
themselves.  As a non-attorney mediator, virtually ALL of my clients are  Attorney 
Averse.  
 
Remember, "Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look."
