Training Attorneys and Advocates for Dispute Resolution
We offer training sessions for attorneys and advocates in civil cases. We work with individuals and small groups in an intimate setting to strengthen advocacy skills appropriate for mediation. The training is based on a civil case and participants work through many issues that might arise in preparing for and engaging in negotiation and mediation.
We discuss:
- preparing your client for mediation
- strong mediation submissions
- effective opening presentations
- using caucuses to your advantage
- involving experts
- how to best use the skills of the mediator
- ethical issues
- written settlement agreements
