| A Successful Mediation By William Gilbride Because facilitative mediation has been demonstrably successful in resolving disputes, many courts presiding over civil claims are referring cases to mediators, even as early as at the first scheduling conference, after the pleadings are filed but before discovery. This phenomenon is different from the historical model. |
| The Promise of Mediation in Ukraine: Cease-Fire and a Road Map to a Peace Treaty By John Cabral America, for all its foreign wars, is the home of the peace movement. It also gave the world the mediation movement, and the mediation profession. Mediators would do well to offer their insights – and their services – to the extremely dangerous conflict in Ukraine. |
| Reflective Practice: In Their Voices Interview with Chuck Crumpton Michael Lang interviews Chuck Crumpton who founded Crumpton Collaborative Solutions in 2014 and concentrates on mediation and arbitration of civil cases and public interest cases.

The marital home becomes the “nest” where the children live. |

| Mediator Ethics and Ethical Dilemmas By Antoinette Raheem While professional ethics for attorneys are required subjects in law schools, ethics for mediators receive much less attention.

| Enhancing Divorce Mediation Outcomes: The Role of a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst By Leah Hadley As professional mediators, you understand that the complexities of divorce extend beyond emotional and legal realms into financial intricacies. Integrating a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) into your mediation process can significantly enhance the outcomes for your clients. |
