Abstract

Peer review systems are one of a number of in-house dispute resolution systems employers increasingly use. Unlike other dispute resolution procedures that invoke outside third parties, such as mediation and arbitration, peer review has no professional community to provide standards or procedural guidelines. This article examines peer review through the framework of procedural and distributive justice. Critical issues are explored, and recommendations for the successful implementation of peer review systems are made.
