The Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution (CJCR) features topics in alternative dispute resolution and mediation. The Journal reflects the prominence of Cardozo’s program in Alternative Dispute Resolution, which includes Cardozo's pioneering mediation clinic; participation in intraschool and national counseling, negotiation, and mediation advocacy competitions; a student chapter of the ABA Section of Dispute Resolution; and various other symposia and events.

The Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution, published approximately twice a year, is a key component of the Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution. The Journal aims to explore all aspects of this burgeoning field of law and its relationship to legal practice, scholarship, and jurisprudence.

CJCR also sponsors an annual International Advocate for Peace (IAP) Award. This award honors individuals who embody a passion for and commitment to the pursuit of peace and of resolution of difficult international problems. Recipients of the Award have included President William Jefferson Clinton, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, Senator George Mitchell, John Wallach and Seeds of Peace, playwright Eve Ensler, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Betty Murungi, and Ambassador Dennis Ross.
