The Program on Negotiation Brown Bag Lunch Series Presents
*The Brazilian Experience on Dispute Systems Design (DSD): The TAM and
Air France cases*
A presentation by* Diego Faleck* (LL.M. '06), Chief of Staff of the
Secretariat of Economic Law of the Ministry of Justice in Brazil

ever claims resolution facilities in Brazil, that took place after the
crash of TAM Airlines Flight 3054 on July, 17, 2007 and of Air France
Flight 447 on May, 31, 2009. The experience was based on the theoretical
framework on negotiation and DSD acquired at Harvard Law School, which
was used to advance the interests of the families of those who lost
their lives and to avoid the enormous costs that would have been borne
by the parties in resolving their claims.
