Settle For More:  Mediation Advocacy Secrets

Lee Jay Berman & Friends

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.
