About the Seminar - OnDemand Version of Live Program for November 5th
Mediation 101: Back to the Basics is exactly that. The program has been designed in conjunction with and to complement the 40-hour Civil and Family Court Mediation Training programs and is directed to both attorneys and experienced mediators. The program is presented in 2 segments on different days to make it easy for you to attend both, or choose the segment that most applies to your practice and schedule. Both programs are led by Bruce Poore, Tiffany Provence, and Joy Bennett - all of whom are experienced mediators and mediation trainers. They will provide you with the kind of practical instruction that will enable you to be more effective as mediators or attorney counselors in the mediation process.
Part 1 will provide you with a clear understanding of the basics of mediation. This is not a substitute for the 40-hour training program, but it is a great introduction to mediation for attorneys and a stimulating refresher for mediators.
