Mediation in the SC family courts has been occurring for decades,
but the SC Bar – CLE Division did not offer a comprehensive publication
addressing the topic – until now!
Mediation is not only mandatory, it is a critical part of
the family law process. That’s why a publication addressing the nuts and bolts
of family law mediation, providing an overview for attorneys representing
clients during a family law mediation, and including tips on how best to
prepare your mediator for a productive mediation was needed. Additionally, as
there was no single reference source for the SC Family Court mediator, author
Sean Keefer, provides ideas on starting and building a mediation practice,
addresses the ins and outs of becoming a mediator, discusses issues and
challenges that frequently arise in family court mediations, and provides
strategies and methods for addressing and dealing with these issues. As a
matter of convenience, the book can serve as a central reference point for
forms and SC ADR Rules applicable to mediation and the Standards of Conduct for
Mediators.
The ultimate goal of this resource is to benefit SC attorneys and mediators by providing a central reference source and
practical tools to utilize in family law mediations in this state.
