About This Course
After a long history of resistance, ADR (Alternate Dispute Resolution) has become so well-accepted in recent years that certain courts will require parties to resort to it before allowing their case to be tried. Mediation, a form of ADR used in civil disputes, family law issues, eldercare and other fields, is a growing field necessary for any attorney looking to begin a mediation practice or gain practical insight in the field. This CLE course, designed to teach the various skills and techniques employed by those trained in mediation, will review the ethics of mediation and mediation theory, specifically as it relates to Family Law disputes. The course will focus on practical applications and will be valuable in offering unfamiliar attorneys another avenue to consider when handling matrimonial and family disputes.
