Description:
This program will address a number of ethics issues that can arise in
mediation and settlement negotiations. With a specific focus on
confidentiality, conflicts of interest and related issues, the program
will discuss ethics questions from the point of view of the mediator,
the outside lawyer, and even the client. The program will close with a
brief discussion about how to research ethics issues and how to get help
from an ethics committee of lawyers, or mediators, when needed.
