We are pleased to announce that Bill Eddy, LCSW, Esq., of the High Conflict Institute will present at the 2021 annual ADR Summit, which will be held virtually over two days, March 9 and 10, 2021 from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. This event has been approved by SCAO for up to eight hours of advanced mediation training credits. Eddy is a best-selling author, therapist, mediator, and lawyer and co-founder and pioneer of the High-Conflict Institute.
High conflict mediation requires a different approach. The Institute's methods and training provide a paradigm shift for mediating with those clients and counsel who are not responsive to ordinary mediation methods and focuses on an overall structured approach for high conflict mediation which incorporates these paradigm shifts. What helps is to do the opposite of what we do in traditional mediation (using approaches that work with most people). Their high conflict mediation training provides a new way to enhance your existing mediation skills with paradigm shifts that seem to bring more success when there are one or more high-conflict people involved.You’ll learn how to understand and manage high conflict behavior during mediation and in developing agreements which are sustainable long afterward.
Cost: ADR Section Members-$25; Non-section Members $50; Judges and Law Students-Free
