Abstract
This thesis looks at corporate social responsibility (CSR) at the intersection between law and public policy while using an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) framework. With more than 99.9% of businesses in the United States being small businesses and not large corporations, there is a major market for implementing strategic changes that can have far-reaching impacts. If small businesses really can build positive momentum, how could encouraging small businesses to invest in CSR also yield a substantial positive impact? This thesis will analyze the public policy and legal landscape of CSR before providing a practical framework that small businesses can apply when seeking to implement CSR principles.
