A facilitator manages the process, while a team leader leads the team.

The document discusses the need for eldercaring coordination as an alternative dispute resolution process for high-conflict family situations involving elders. It notes that as the population of elders grows, safety issues and conflicts within families will likely increase, potentially burdening the court system. Two task forces composed of experts in relevant fields were formed to develop guidelines for eldercaring coordination, which aims to reduce conflict and allow families to focus on resolving care and needs issues for elders. The process would be facilitated by a qualified eldercaring coordinator.
This document discusses how early stage mediation can help ensure access to dispute resolution for fragile families. It begins by defining fragile families as unmarried parents and their children born out of wedlock. It then discusses four themes from a task force on how to design an ADR system that effectively addresses diversity: better understanding diverse end users; supporting diversity among ADR providers; increasing cultural competence of providers; and increasing community access to ADR tailored to diverse needs. The document calls for actions to apply these themes to ensure fragile families can access and benefit from early stage mediation.
The document summarizes a presentation by mediator Lee Jay Berman on avoiding impasse in mediation.

Through a presentation, case studies and group discussions, the workshop will help participants question their own cultural assumptions and develop a clearer understanding of culturally appropriate resolution approaches. A list of 23 relevant publications on topics like immigration, acculturation, mediation in multicultural settings, and traditional conflict resolution practices is also provided.
A document provides a values survey asking the reader to rank 13 behaviors from most important to least important, including compassion, fairness, freedom, generosity, honesty, honor, humility, preservation of environment, respect, respect for elders, responsibility, social harmony, and tolerance. The reader is also given space to add other behaviors. The purpose is to reflect on how important each value is to the reader in their own behavior and how they wish others would behave.
This document discusses the use of metaphors in mediation. It defines metaphors and provides examples. Metaphors can be used to convey experiences vividly, illustrate concepts succinctly, and express emotions indirectly. The document also discusses how metaphors reflect personal experiences and can open new perspectives. It provides an example of divorcing parents being metaphorically described as airplane co-pilots to emphasize their role in caring for their children. Finally, it outlines four specific uses of metaphors in mediation and techniques for mediators to work with parties' metaphors.
This document discusses the rise of online dispute resolution (ODR) and how technology is disrupting mediation practices. It outlines four major disruptive technologies: PCs and word processing, the Internet and World Wide Web, mobile devices with bandwidth, and cloud computing. These technologies have accelerated communication and allowed for mediation to be conducted increasingly online. The document suggests that in the future, nearly all alternative dispute resolution will involve elements of ODR and occur sooner than expected due to the rapid pace of technological change.
This document summarizes a presentation on bullying and forgiveness. It discusses whether victims of bullying can or should forgive their bullies. It explores the benefits of forgiveness, such as improved physical and psychological health. However, forgiveness is difficult for many reasons, such as feelings of anger or a desire for revenge. The document outlines factors that can facilitate forgiveness, including religious beliefs, acknowledgment of wrongdoing by the offender, and third-party assistance like mediation. Mediators must carefully determine whether a situation is appropriate for their involvement in facilitating forgiveness.
The document discusses online alternative dispute resolution (ODR) tools and case management systems. It describes CaseloadManager.com, a cloud-based case management system for ADR programs and professionals. CaseloadManager.com allows users to manage cases, contacts, calendars, emails, activities and reports from an integrated interface. It also describes MeetingSpace, a cloud-based virtual space for ADR cases that allows users to create clickable working agreements or awards. The goal is to most effectively manage caseloads online and create an effective virtual space "with a single click" for each case.
This document outlines issues to consider when drafting agreements and memorandums of understanding for divorcing couples. It discusses goals such as predicting future behavior, using clear language, and creating a framework for ending the marriage. It notes that mediators should prepare memorandums of understanding rather than legal agreements. The document also covers topics like word choice, agreements as contracts under family law, and ensuring enforceability, integration and avoiding future litigation. An attached checklist is referenced for a comprehensive master agreement.
This workshop will engage participants in exploring what it takes to build partnerships, cross-cultural sensitivity and sustainable capacity for a culture of peace, drawing from case studies and Mediators Beyond Boders’ experience in countries around the world. Participants will learn how to bridge from being mediators to peacebuilders through elicitive practice, using trauma informed principles, appreciative inquiry and mediation techniques to transform local capacities for peace in a range of contexts, including in government institutions and universities, among tribal leaders and citizens, and in the practice of civil society organizations.
The partnership between the Neighborhood Justice Center and the Civil Law Self-Help Center has resulted in an improvement and streamlining of landlord/tenant disputes being conciliated with a minimum addition intervention necessary from the court. The cases often result in a cessation in legal action from the beginning. This new normal, of having options available for landlords and tenant in a location easily accessible and with the necessary staffing, has reduced the time commitments of the court.
