The program offers a rare opportunity to increase counsel’s effectiveness in handling personal injury/tort cases at mediations. Expert counsel and mediators will explain and demonstrate key aspects of advocacy in mediations, including: what makes for a winning mediation brief, handling bad behavior and difficult personalities, impact of cross-cultural factors on the mediation, and creative ways of overcoming impasses.
Other areas covered include:
- Taking full advantage of the opportunities presented by the mediation brief
- Establishing and maintaining your credibility with the mediator
- Tactics the other side will use and how to counter them
- Getting a failing mediation back on track, using the mediator as your key resource
- Ethical and professional issues arising throughout the process
Expert counsel and mediators will illuminate and demonstrate key aspects of mediation advocacy.
“A very well-conceived program designed to arm a litigator…with basic and advanced skills for mediation as well as an understanding of some of the more nuanced aspects of mediation strategy”
