Mediation for Lawyers - Part B - Family Mediation 2012 This workshop has now concluded. Mediation as an alternative to litigation is something that clients are increasingly looking for. It is also a good practice development option.
We are offering a specialist family law mediation course for those who wish to practise in this arena. While many mediation skills are fully transferable there are also special features of family mediation that need to be understood and catered for.
This workshop builds on the very well received NZLS CLE workshop Mediation for Lawyers – Part A. That course educated participants about what the significant differences are between being a lawyer and a mediator. It provided opportunities to understand the process of mediation and to learn to think like a mediator – not a lawyer. There was some
opportunity to practise skills.
This workshop provides further opportunity to observe a family mediation and to dissect it, and to practise mediation skills – particularly as they relate to family cases involving children. Finally participants will be involved in a moderated assessment exercise – where they will go on learning but also where, in one instance, they will be the mediator whose
performance is being assessed. The assessment is carried out by an experienced family mediator and involves feedback on the day and a written report.
Presenters: Virginia Goldblatt and Denise Evans Note - you cannot enrol for this Part B workshop unless you have completed the Part A workshop or been granted an exemption. To find out about exemptions email cle@lawyerseduction.co.nz |
