The Mediator’s Mind: A Mental Model for Mediation Success – eBook and AI Podcast
By Bruce Edwards
This eBook, “The Mediator’s Mind,” by Bruce A. Edwards, explores the importance of a specific mindset for successful mediation. Edwards defines the Mediator’s Mind as a psychological construct shaping perceptions and actions, differentiating it from simple mindfulness. The book details how to cultivate this mindset, emphasizing self-reflection and skill development, and provides examples of its application in various mediation scenarios. Finally, it argues for the broader societal benefits of a Mediator’s Mind in addressing global conflicts and challenges.

Mediation and Dentistry
By Michael Jacobs
While I fully support the desire to increase the uptake and use of mediation, I‘m not sure this requires making mediation mandatory. I think what we need to do is make mediation more like dentistry.

ICODR Podcast 33: Lissa Gerking of Leibniz University Hannover on Tradeoffs between Efficiency and Quality in ODR
with Ian MacDuff
In this episode of the ICODR podcast, Ian speaks with Lissa Gerking of the Federal Bar Association in Brussels, and Chair in Civil Law, German, European and International Civil Procedure at the Leibniz University Hannover.  They discuss how the digital transformation of justice can reduce the focus on the core principle of a fair trial, sidelining several procedurally important aspects of in person hearings.  ODR’s global adoption is being driven  primarily by efficiency, but that efficiency may be achieved at the expense of justice. Fast justice is not always better justice.
