Mastering Court Administered Mediations: Effective Client Representation
Thursday, December 11, 2025 | 12:30pm - 2:00pm
Format: WEBINAR
Description:
This panel offers litigators practical guidance for navigating court-ordered mediation, which requires a shift from adversarial advocacy to strategic problem-solving. As courts increasingly turn to mediation to manage growing caseloads, understanding the distinct dynamics of court-administered processes is essential.
Panelists will explore best practices for advancing clients’ interests within the unique framework of court-ordered mediation—including confidentiality concerns, ethical duties, and effective collaboration with opposing counsel and mediators. The program will also highlight common pitfalls that can derail mediation and offer actionable “do’s and don’ts” to maximize success.
