Hello Family Law Section members,
On April 24, NJICLE in cooperation with the Justice Garibaldi ADR Inn of Court and the Family Law Section, are kicking off the 5-Day (40 Hour) Mediation Training Course at the New Jersey Law Center.
The course will be held on the following dates and times:
• Mon., April 24, 2017- 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. - NJ Law Center, New Brunswick
• Mon., May 1, 2017- 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. - NJ Law Center, New Brunswick
• Mon., May 8, 2017- 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. - NJ Law Center, New Brunswick
• Mon., May 15, 2017- 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. - NJ Law Center, New Brunswick
• Mon., May 22, 2017 - 8:30 a.m to 5:30 p.m. - NJ Law Center, New Brunswick
The Supreme Court has amended Rule 1:40-5(3)(b) to expand the economic mediation program statewide. Each vicinage must have in place a post-Matrimonial Early Settlement Panel program for mediation of the economic aspects of divorce. (Note: Participants must undergo 5 hours of mediating under the supervision of a court-approved mentor before they are approved.)
Those who have been trained in mediation skills and who meet other requirements set forth in the New Jersey Court Rules (Appendix 19), and are approved by the Joint Credentialing Committee of the Supreme Court CDR Committee and the Supreme Court Family Practice Committee, will be placed on a court-approved roster. After the first two pro bono hours on each case, court-approved mediators will be able to set market-rate fees for their services.
How do I register?
If you are planning to attend, please register as soon as possible. Only eighty registrants will be accepted for the 40-hour course. Once the maximum has been reached, no additional registrations will be accepted.
