OVERVIEW

Through this course, lawyer-participants are invited to appreciate the distinct features of mediation and how these features can potentially benefit clients and their children better than by submitting disputes in the adversarial space. Enhancing lawyers’ awareness of the advantageous features of mediation can hopefully translate to an enhanced ability to counsel clients — that is: (1) to better inform clients of their dispute resolution process options; (2) to help clients choose a process that can better meet their and their children’s needs and interests; and (3) to assist them in making the most out of the problem-solving environment that the process offers.

The course highlights the instrumental role that lawyers can play in making a dispute conversation in mediation more child-focused and inclusive.

The creation of the course comes with the hope that lawyers will appreciate mediation as an “alternative” that can be appropriate and advantageous for parties dealing with disputes affecting children.
