Chetta\, Member/YLD Member\, Barrasso Usdin Kupperman Freeman & Sarver\, L.L.C.\nHon. Janis van Meerveld\, Judge\, U.S. District Court – Eastern District of Louisiana\n\n4:00 PM – 5:00 PM\nMock Mediation Workshop\nPresented by the Younger Lawyers Division and Alternative Dispute Resolution Section \nUsing a comprehensive mediation scenario\, the workshop will provide a forum for understanding current challenges and innovative solutions in the mediation process that will benefit all levels of practice. Through interdisciplinary learning and collaboration\, the workshop will provide an opportunity for productive dialogue to enhance the quality of the mediation process for all participants. The workshop format will also afford networking which is crucial to mediation practitioners who often work in silos. All federal courts are required to offer at least one form of ADR. Although many federal courts offer more than one form of ADR\, mediation remains the primary form of ADR used in the federal courts. Program requirements vary from timing to panels to training\, but there is an inherent level of uniformity in the mediation process. Numerous state courts also have some form of ADR requirement or recommendation\, with mediation being the most widely used method of ADR. The workshop will be in a format designed to assist attendees in multiple jurisdictions and will include: 1) pre-session communications; 2) introductory sessions\, with and without opening statements; 3) separate and joint caucuses; and 4) options for adjourning.\nPresented by the Younger Lawyers Division and Alternative Dispute Resolution Section \n\nModerator: Laurel Stevenson\, Director of Mediation and Assessment Program (MAP)\, U.S. District Court – Western District of Missouri\nHon.
