Mediation & Mediation Advocacy Training Program for Legal Practitioners

The Mediation & Mediation Advocacy Training Program is a hands-on, individualized, and intensive training program to foster exemplary mediation advocacy practice. Participants will escape the day-to-day practice of law to learn the fundamental skills essential to representing clients effectively in mediation, including choosing a mediator, preparing a client, writing a mediation statement, determining and presenting an opening offer or demand, making counterproposals, being creative, working with a mediator, overcoming impasses to closing the deal, and more. The Honorable Daniel Weinstein and Dana L. Curtis, widely recognized and highly regarded mediators and teachers of mediation, will team up with respected negotiation teacher and Gould Center Director Maude Pervere to lead an intimate, intensive program in which participants will mediate simulated disputes based on actual cases and receive individualized feedback tailored to their particular needs and interests.
