Webinar: Grow Your Mediation Practice Now! (1.5 MCLE hours) with Lee Jay Berman

New Dates Coming Soon!

So many people who proudly call themselves mediators love mediating, but don’t get an opportunity to do it enough. This webinar is for them. Many of those trying to establish a career in mediation come from prior careers in law, mental health or education. These three careers are among the weakest at marketing and self-promotion. Our industry suffers unnecessarily because so many are highly skilled at mediating, and yet lack the skills that enable them to secure the opportunity to actually mediate.

Webinar: Settle for More: Advocacy in Mediation (1.5 MCLE hours) with Lee Jay Berman

New Dates Coming Soon!

While all good attorneys prepare intensely for arbitration or trial, it is a wonder that more fail to prepare better for mediation. As the legal community continues to use mediation as an effective case settlement tool, it is becoming clear that attorney preparation plays a vital role in achieving a favorable result. Whether dealing with hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, shooting from the hip is too risky. This course will teach and discuss with panels the most successful strategies for effectively representing clients in mediation, both through the eyes of leading advocates (Invited: Richard Marks, Scott Tepper, Michelle Flores) and leading mediators, who have each seen literally thousands of attorneys represent clients with varying degrees of success. Learn what works and what doesn't. Learn 10 new tools for effective advocacy in mediation that will help your practice beginning the following Monday morning.

Webinar: It's Time for Heavy Metal Mediation (1.5 MCLE hours) with Lee Jay Berman

New Dates Coming Soon!

Heavy Metal Mediation means more than simply thinking outside of the box - it means smashing the box and trampling on it! It is about recognizing the realities of the commercial marketplace for litigated cases and adapting a mediator's style and approach to meet the marketplace's expectations. This is a short "How To" guide that gives explicit permission to mediators to do things that most mediator training courses view as taboo, including evaluating cases and being confrontational, and examines ethical questions around manipulation and intimidation. This look under the tent of mediation is a one of a kind view into how the real world of commercial mediation works, and how the attorneys and sophisticated parties want it to work. Warning: This approach is NOT for the transformative, relationship-minded mediators.
