This program provides a unique blend of mediation theory\, hands-on mediation skills training\, and an exploration of the sensibilities and personal qualities required to be an effective mediator. \nThis in-person program is useful for a range of professionals who deal with people in conflict\, and any attorney who represents clients in mediation\, to understand the process and to be more effective in representing clients in mediation. We also encourage participation of international attorneys\, notaries and Hastings LL.M. students. No prior training or experience required. \n\nIn this highly interactive and dynamic training\, participants from around the world learn the theory and practice of mediation. The methodology consists of a mixture of discussion\, skill building exercises and role play. All participants will have the opportunity to practice multiple times in the client\, advocate and mediator roles and will receive personalized feedback and coaching from professional mediators. \nWe start with the psychology and behavior of people in conflict and the different process choices parties can make when seeking to resolve conflict. We examine the different styles or models of mediation and the implications of those models for the client experience. We then explore and practice every phase of a mediation\, from opening and setting the stage\, to exploration of interests and issues\, negotiating agreements\, preparation of settlement documents and closure. \n\nCombined with the practice of these phases\, participants build critical communication and process management skills including how to: \n\nMaintain neutrality\nBalance power\nSelect appropriate influencing strategies\nDecide whether\, when and how to use private sessions (鈥渃aucus鈥)\nFacilitate the 鈥渕oney dance鈥漒nConduct a methodical alternatives analysis\nEmploy techniques for overcoming impasse\nConvey 鈥渄ifficult鈥 messages\nUse active listening\nAsk questions to move the clients in helpful directions\nHandle difficult behavior and 鈥渞eframe鈥 problematic statements\n\n聽 \nFinally\, we cover mediator ethics\, process confidentiality\, working with representatives and co-mediation. \n聽 \nWhat participants have to say: \n鈥淔antastic!

It will be limited to 10 participants and is open to all practicing mediators. Generally\, each session will be focused on mediator presentations of cases in which they have been involved. Rather than starting with a topic\, discussion flows from what actually happened and the choices the mediator made throughout the process. \n聽 \nKey to a successful group is the creation of a safe and confidential environment of mutual support and respect\, making stable membership and small group size important. Participants commit to in-person attendance at all six two-hour sessions\, and to write up and present at least one case for discussion during the six-month period. \n聽 \nMCLE: 12 hours general credit for the series\, including 1 hour of elimination of bias credit (excludes implicit bias/bias reducing strategies)\, 1 hour of competence credit (excludes prevention and detection)\, and 1 hour of ethics credit \n聽 \n2026 Dates: January 14\, February 11\, March 11\, April 8\, May 13\, June 10 \nTime: 5:00 to 7:00 pm \nLocation: 198 McAllister Street\, Room 206\, 麻豆视频 Law San Francisco \nCost: $595 for the full series \n聽 \n聽 \nIf you are interested in joining the group\, please complete this application. \nApplications will be taken on a rolling basis until the group is full. \n聽 URL:/event/reflective-mediation-practice-group/2026-06-10/ LOCATION:198 McAllister St.\, 198 McAllister St.\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94102\, United States CATEGORIES:Public ORGANIZER;CN="Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution (CNDR)":MAILTO:cndr@uclawsf.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260831T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260904T180000 DTSTAMP:20251107T005358 CREATED:20251017T174244Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251017T184300Z UID:10006422-1788165000-1788544800@www.uclawsf.edu SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Mediation DESCRIPTION:聽 \n聽 \nA 40-hour basic mediation training program\, including certificate of completion and optional MCLE credit. \nThe 麻豆视频 Law SF Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution聽(CNDR) presents its鈥 annual 40-hour comprehensive mediation practitioner training. This program provides a unique blend of mediation theory\, hands-on mediation skills training\, and an exploration of the sensibilities and personal qualities required to be an effective mediator. \nThis in-person program is useful for a range of professionals who deal with people in conflict\, and any attorney who represents clients in mediation\, to understand the process and to be more effective in representing clients in mediation. We also encourage participation of international attorneys\, notaries and Hastings LL.M. students. No prior training or experience required. \n\n \nIn this highly interactive and dynamic training\, participants from around the world learn the theory and practice of mediation. The methodology consists of a mixture of discussion\, skill building exercises and role play. All participants will have the opportunity to practice multiple times in the client\, advocate and mediator roles and will receive personalized feedback and coaching from professional mediators. \nWe start with the psychology and behavior of people in conflict and the different process choices parties can make when seeking to resolve conflict. We examine the different styles or models of mediation and the implications of those models for the client experience. We then explore and practice every phase of a mediation\, from opening and setting the stage\, to exploration of interests and issues\, negotiating agreements\, preparation of settlement documents and closure. \n聽 \n \n\nCombined with the practice of these phases\, participants build critical communication and process management skills including how to: \n\nMaintain neutrality\nBalance power\nSelect appropriate influencing strategies\nDecide whether\, when and how to use private sessions (鈥渃aucus鈥)\nFacilitate the 鈥渕oney dance鈥漒nConduct a methodical alternatives analysis\nEmploy techniques for overcoming impasse\nConvey 鈥渄ifficult鈥 messages\nUse active listening\nAsk questions to move the clients in helpful directions\nHandle difficult behavior and 鈥渞eframe鈥 problematic statements\n\nFinally\, we cover mediator ethics\, process confidentiality\, working with representatives and co-mediation. \n聽 \nWhat participants have to say: \n鈥淔antastic!
