Mediation plays a critical role in our justice system. It requires a special skill set and it raises unique challenges both for mediators and counsel representing clients in mediation.
Mediators must constantly strive to stay on top of new and developing issues while continuing to hone their skills. Counsel must also keep abreast of developments so that they can achieve the best possible results for their clients.
Whether you are a mediator or an advocate who appears in mediation settings, this year’s program will take you through one of the key elements in mediation: evaluating risk and using risk assessment to achieve an effective process and the best results during the mediation.
This must-attend, annual conference will focus on topics that will give you the tools to become better at analyzing risk in the settlement and mediation process. You will get practical skills to immediately use in practice, and using a challenging case scenario, you will get to apply the framework for risk analysis in an interactive session.
This joint program between the Winkler Institute for Dispute Resolution, the International Academy of Mediators and Osgoode Professional Development was developed by a faculty of leading Canadian and international experts to provide valuable insights and practical tips for both mediators and counsel. It is a unique opportunity to have them all in one room. You will engage with the best and walk away with tools that you can immediately put to use in your practice.
Registration includes online attendance, program materials and 120-day access to program archive (program archive will consist of recordings of plenary sessions and large group discussions).
