How much pressure should a mediator place on parties to settle their dispute? When is mediator encouragement “just enough?” What is the role of a mediator in pushing to resolve disputes? Does it matter whether the conflict is difficult, fractious, and emotionally charged? Does it make a difference if the dispute involves family or civil/commercial issues? Do party preferences matter? What do our Mediator Standards provide, and how are they to be interpreted? What are the risks of an overactive mediator? What is the mediator’s liability, if any? How stable and enforceable are final agreements if a Mediator pushes too hard? Register now for answers to these questions and more!
