For some 40 years, mediation has been the procedure that parties and courts have used to settle disputes, usually after parties have invested significant time and expense in pleadings, discovery and motions.  And it usually involves parties committing to spend the whole day in the mediation rooms, moving slowly in lockstep through demands and offers disconnected from the real value of a case, and making progress or actually reaching settlement late in the day (or night) when both parties are weary and beyond frustrated.

As neutrals, we can and must do better.  We can resolve disputes at their inception.  We can make sure parties have sufficient information to make informed settlement decisions.  We can use risk-analysis tools to help parties realistically understand their case and the risks they face.

This course will train you to help parties resolve their disputes early economically, and fairly using the guidelines of the Early Dispute Resolution Protocols developed by the Early Dispute Resolution Institute -  https://edrinstitute.org/latest-protocols/.  We’ll teach you the Protocol’s four EDR steps: initial dispute assessment; information and document exchange (including experts if needed); risk analysis; and final resolution.  We’ll also provide a full hands-on training on how to understand, create and use decision trees for risk analysis, which is a powerful tool to give each party a realistic understanding of their risks and the case’s value.

You will leave this training with a new and comprehensive approach to dispute resolution and with risk analysis tools that you will likely use in all your cases, both in traditional mediation and in early dispute resolution.
