Together with Joseph Folger of Temple University he is the originator, and best known advocate, of the transformative model of mediation. He has authored over two dozen articles and books on mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution. Recently he authored an article on mediation in the Jewish tradition, discovering that many of his earlier research findings were compatible with Jewish principles of mediation (P"shara). Bush is a graduate of Harvard University (Bachelor in 1969) and Stanford Law School (Juris Doctor in 1974).
He has practiced mediation in various contexts since starting a community mediation program in San Francisco in 1976, and has developed and conducted many training programs on mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution, including training for lawyers and judges.
He has been at Hofstra Law School since 1980.
