Hello Family Law Section members,
On
Thursday, Oct. 10, NJICLE will present
Mediation Dos and Don'ts -Advocating for Your Clients at Mediation from
9 a.m. to 12:35 p.m. at the
New Jersey Law Center.With the rise of court-mandated mediation and collaborative law, top-notch mediation skills are essential to almost every practice area and practitioner. Advocating for your clients in mediation is very different than advocating for them in litigation. Knowing how to effectively advocate for your clients at mediations while still working towards an agreement will not only lead to more resolutions your clients are actually happy with, but will also help to ensure that they feel you're still fighting for them. At this all-new essential skills program, a dynamic panel of practicing mediators, including two retired Superior Court judges, will tell you what you should and should not be doing in mediation to achieve that balance and get the best possible results.
However, this isn't the average seminar where you're just lectured to. You'll watch movie clips and hear stories, anecdotes, and "ah-ha' moments from the speakers to ensure an entertaining, as well as educational experience. Additionally, there will be a question and answer component, so bring your questions about challenges you face and ask what you really want to know about how mediators approach mediations - and what they really think about your approach to mediations.
No matter what type of mediation you participate in or how long you've been attending mediations, this seminar will provide you with useful tips and tricks to help you more successfully mediate on behalf of your clients. If you ever attend mediations, you need to attend this program. Register today.
