Dispute Resolution Commercial Mediation Training Program

- Location -
Fordham University School of Law
140 West 62nd Street
New York, NY 10023

This three-day course will present a thorough examination of mediation principles and techniques. The program faculty will analyze the structure of a typical mediation, highlight ethical issues that may arise in mediation, and explore solutions for generating movement and overcoming impasse.

We will explore differences between facilitative and evaluative or directive approaches in mediation, from both practical and ethical perspectives, and will discuss advantages and disadvantages of these styles.  The instructors will focus on experiential learning through role plays and dialogue to help prepare you for the real world of commercial mediation.

Under New York’s MCLE rule, this program has been approved for a total 24 CLE credits consisting of 6.0 in Areas of Professional Practice, 12.5 in Skills, 4.0 in Ethics and 1.5 in Law Practice Management. This program is transitional and therefore suitable for newly admitted attorneys.
