Courtroom advocacy doesn’t automatically translate into effective mediation. Examine how persuasion shifts in a setting focused on the parties’ interests, risk assessment, listening, and resolution rather than rulings. Gain practical techniques for advancing your client’s position without hardening opposition, and learn how preparation, framing, and strategic patience can influence outcomes. You’ll leave with a clearer sense of how to recalibrate your advocacy for both court-ordered and voluntary mediation.
