Mediation for Lawyers Part A - 2012 This course has now concluded. Mediation knowledge and skills are an increasingly important adjunct to legal practice. Many more clients are taking disputes to mediation (because it works) and the more that their legal advisers know about how it works the better. In addition practice as a mediator extends the service that lawyers can offer the public. But there are significant differences between being a legal adviser and a mediator. Not the least is that within the range of solutions available to parties are non-justiciable ones. What’s more it’s about the parties, not the law. We are providing training which is focused on lawyers as mediators or lawyers in the mediation process. You will learn new skills and learn to park some skills that you currently possess as a lawyer. We are providing two part training – the first, Part A, is about learning about mediation, identifying the learning (and unlearning) necessary to be a mediator and then practising some of the skills. Part B is the next stage – improving and increasing skills – with a focus on disputes in various areas of the law. The first Part B to be offered will be in the area of family mediation – with a view to helping to equip you to be a mediator in the Early Intervention Process now used so successfully in the Family Courts throughout New Zealand. More information will be available on Part B (Family) shortly. Presenters: Virginia Goldblatt and Geoff Sharp |
