Program description:

This two-day active course is designed for attorneys wishing to add mediation to their skill set, as well as for more experienced mediation practitioners and lawyers who represent parties in mediation. The course is heavily experiential. Participants will have the opportunity to mediate and advocate in several simulations, as well as to be coached by experienced mediators.

Michael Lewis and Linda Singer, both pioneers in developing mediation as integral to legal practice, have been mediating actively for many years. They have taught thousands of mediators, in both intensive and academic settings, including the semi-annual Harvard Intensive Mediation Workshop, in Cambridge and abroad.
