Maurizio Di Rocco serves as a Professor at the Faculty of Law, University of Trento, Italy, with institutional affiliation centered on legal theory and dispute resolution practice. His academic base is anchored at Via Verdi, 53 - 38122 Trento, with primary contact via university email. Academic Credentials: Law Degree, Faculty of Law, University of Padua (1995), thesis: "Regicide in the legal thought of J. Milton" with supplementary work in Banking Law and Public International Law Classical High School Diploma, State High School "R. Franchetti", Mestre-Ve (1986) Advanced qualifications: Civil/commercial mediator trainer (accredited under Legislative Decree 28/2010), plus specialized training from JAMS-Endispute (Boston, 1999), NCRC (San Diego, 2005), and Friedman/Himmelstein workshops (2010-2014) Professor Di Rocco's research forms the cornerstone of Italian Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scholarship, with concentrated expertise in mediation systems design , sector-specific conflict resolution (telecommunications, insurance, medical liability), and consumer dispute mechanisms . His work bridges theoretical frameworks in legal philosophy with actionable procedural protocols, emphasizing cross-cultural negotiation dynamics and institutional implementation challenges. The trajectory of his scholarship reveals deepening specialization in extrajudicial resolution pathways since the early 2000s, with particular focus on legislative compliance and practical mediator competencies. Analysis of his 12 major publications (2003-2013) demonstrates three dominant research vectors: (1) Codification and refinement of Italian mediation frameworks through annual updated codes (2011-2012), (2) Sectoral adaptation of ADR mechanisms to high-conflict industries like telecom and healthcare, and (3) Consumer rights protection through structured conciliation systems. His collaborative works with Covata, Santi, and Marucci reveal consistent focus on civil/commercial dispute resolution, while solo publications establish foundational theories for mediator ethics and procedural justice. No scientific awards or major fellowships are documented in the source materials. Professor Di Rocco's advisory impact manifests through policy-shaping engagements rather than formal student supervision. His Ministry of Productive Activities-cofunded consumer rights project (2004) and CNCU-commissioned ISDACI research report (1999) demonstrate direct influence on Italian ADR legislative frameworks. Current consulting roles with the Venice Chamber of Arbitration and Forensic Conciliation Coordination continue this practical policy integration. As co-founder and Vice President of "RESOLUTIA – Gestione delle controversie" (2000-present), he directs an active dispute resolution consortium that operationalizes his academic work. The association functions as a living laboratory for testing mediation protocols across consumer, corporate, and regulatory contexts, maintaining close ties with the Venice Chamber of Commerce and Consumer Defense Movement.
