What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Mediations don't always go as they should. This session dives into some common--and some unusual--challenges that arise before, during, and after mediation. We'll break down real-world dilemmas, review relevant MSC rules and standards, and discuss what mediators should and shouldn't do when things get messy.
All the Ways It Can Go Right!
The mediation rules are changing--are you keeping up? This session walks you through the latest updates to the DRC Mediation Program Rules, Standards of Professional Conduct, and Advisory Opinions. You'll get practical tips on staying compliant, handling orders, and avoiding common missteps (including those tiny, easy-to-miss nuances that trip up even experienced mediators).
Remote Mediation Technology: The Blessings and The Curses
Remote mediation can be a game-changer--or a headache! This session covers how to navigate Rule 4(a)(2) while handling disputes over mediation format, choosing the right platform, and managing logistics like breakout rooms, scheduling, and security. We'll also cover the do's and don'ts of lighting, sound, and screen-sharing, plus how to handle unexpected guests (invited or not). Finally, get a quick intro to how AI is creeping into mediation--ready or not!
