• Is mediation for you? Are you thinking of taking mediation training or wondering how to get started after that training? Have you begun mediating and want to find more opportunities to do so? This interactive seminar will discuss what mediation entails and its role in New York City’s legal community in 2017-2018 and will provide practical advice on how to start mediating.

  The panelists are mediators with very different backgrounds and current positions who will share their experiences and offer concrete, practical advice. The session will cover the various types of mediation and the fields in which mediation is most utilized, including ombuds work. Volunteer and paid opportunities for mediators will be explored. There will be ample time for questions and answers.
