SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Mediation
DESCRIPTION:A 40-hour basic mediation training program\, including certificate of completion and optional MCLE credit. \nThe UC Law SF Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution (CNDR) presents its’ annual 40-hour comprehensive mediation practitioner training. This program provides a unique blend of mediation theory\, hands-on mediation skills training\, and an exploration of the sensibilities and personal qualities required to be an effective mediator. \nThis in-person program is useful for a range of professionals who deal with people in conflict\, and any attorney who represents clients in mediation\, to understand the process and to be more effective in representing clients in mediation. We also encourage participation of international attorneys\, notaries and Hastings LL.M. students. No prior training or experience required. \n\nIn this highly interactive and dynamic training\, participants from around the world learn the theory and practice of mediation. The methodology consists of a mixture of discussion\, skill building exercises and role play. All participants will have the opportunity to practice multiple times in the client\, advocate and mediator roles and will receive personalized feedback and coaching from professional mediators. \nWe start with the psychology and behavior of people in conflict and the different process choices parties can make when seeking to resolve conflict. We examine the different styles or models of mediation and the implications of those models for the client experience. We then explore and practice every phase of a mediation\, from opening and setting the stage\, to exploration of interests and issues\, negotiating agreements\, preparation of settlement documents and closure. \n\nCombined with the practice of these phases\, participants build critical communication and process management skills including how to: \n\nMaintain neutrality\nBalance power\nSelect appropriate influencing strategies\nDecide whether\, when and how to use private sessions (“caucus”)\nFacilitate the “money dance”\nConduct a methodical alternatives analysis\nEmploy techniques for overcoming impasse\nConvey “difficult” messages\nUse active listening\nAsk questions to move the clients in helpful directions\nHandle difficult behavior and “reframe” problematic statements\n\n  \nFinally\, we cover mediator ethics\, process confidentiality\, working with representatives and co-mediation. \n  \nWhat participants have to say: \n“Fantastic! So happy I chose this program\, it blew away my expectations. The role playing was especially valuable to measure progress and enforce the teaching.” – BT 2022 \n  \n“I quit my job as a teacher to work in the Office of Civil Rights doing in-house dispute resolution and mediation. I could not have gotten this position without taking CNDR’s Fundamentals of Mediation Training\, and I am so grateful for all of the skills I gained. I re-read Prof. Ford’s Peace at Work and feel even more prepared to take on this next challenge.” – BL\, 2024 \n  \nFormat\nAll 40 hours will take place in-person during a live class\, including small group role plays with individualized coaching. Each day includes 1.5 hours of total breaks. \nDates\nMonday\, March 2 – Friday\, March 6\, 2026 from 8:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. each day (PST) \nLocation\nUC Law SF\, 198 McAllister\, San Francisco\, CA 94102 (in-person training only) \nMCLE\n40 hours of California MCLE credits available\, including 1.5 hrs Elimination of Bias and 2 hrs Legal Ethics.

SUMMARY:Expanding Economic Justice: State and Local Innovations in Worker Protection
DESCRIPTION:As the Federal government continues to dismantle critical economic protections—gutting collective bargaining rights for public workers\, weakening anti-discrimination safeguards\, and rolling back hard-fought worker protections—state and local governments are emerging as critical arenas for defending and reimagining economic justice. This symposium convenes lawyers\, policymakers\, and movement organizers to examine how state and local actors can advance transformative labor policy from below—countering federal retrenchment\, developing new frameworks for worker power and inclusion\, and identifying the legal\, institutional\, and organizing tools needed to promote long-term economic justice and democratic stability. \n  \nProgram Schedule\n\n\n\nTime\nProgram\n\n\n9:30 am – 9:45 am\n\n\nWelcoming Remarks \n\n\n\n9:45 am – 11:00 am\n\nPanel #1 – State and Local Interventions: Legal Strategies for Worker Protections \nThis panel will explore how state and local governments are responding to federal rollbacks of labor protections and advancing new models for economic justice. \nPanelists: \n\nBranden Butler\, Director\, San Diego County Office of Ethics\, Compliance\, & Labor Standards\nMatthew Goldberg\, Chief Attorney\, Worker Protection Team\, S.F.

After graduating from law school\, Minsu spent ten years directly supporting workers centers and worker-led movements. During this time she served as a Skadden fellow and staff attorney in legal aid and clinical law programs\, a Fulbright Garcſa-Robles fellow researching transnational advocacy networks\, and held local and national leadership positions at Restaurant Opportunities Centers United\, in which she was responsible for weaving together workplace justice\, research\, and policy campaigns. \n  \nMinsu devoted the next ten years of her career to honing her skills as a seasoned workers’ rights attorney with experience in investigations\, litigation\, and policy.

For their work\, Minsu and her colleagues were awarded the Attorney General Team Award in 2021 and 2022 for demonstrating the highest professional work standards. \n  \nBut whatever Minsu has done pales in comparison to what she has seen workers and communities do time and time again: put everything on the line to stand up for transformative justice. Whenever a challenge seems daunting\, she thinks of their call to all of us to dwell in and act from a place of hope and radical possibility. \n  \nMinsu holds a BA and JD from Harvard University. Outside of work\, Minsu enjoys spending time with her family\, and playing the cello\, which she does mostly in her basement but occasionally elsewhere. \n  \nEllen Love\n \nEllen Love focuses on strengthening local and state labor law enforcement\, working directly with labor enforcement agencies as well as their community-based partners.

Ellen holds a master’s degree in public policy from the Goldman School at the University of California\, Berkeley and a BA from Brown University. \n  \nNayantara Mehta\n \nNayantara Mehta was most recently the Director of the Worker Power Program at the National Employment Law Project (NELP). She worked on a range of economic justice policy issues\, such as improving conditions and identifying pathways to build power for workers in precarious and underpaid jobs\, from “gig work” to issues affecting workers with arrest and conviction records. She represented NELP in various roles in the California Strategic Enforcement Partnership (CSEP)\, the California Coalition for Worker Power (CCWP)\, and the Coalition for Low-Wage and Immigrant Worker Advocates (CLIWA). During her 10 years at NELP\, Nayantara was a proud member of the NELP Staff Association\, NOLSW\, UAW\, LOCAL 2320. \n  \nBefore working at NELP\, Nayantara spent almost nine years with the Alliance for Justice’s Bolder Advocacy program\, where she advised organizations and coalitions on the legal issues related to their campaigns for economic justice\, immigrants’ rights\, environmental justice\, reproductive justice\, and more. \n  \nNayantara has a JD from Berkeley Law\, an MA from the University of Chicago\, and a BA from the College of William and Mary. \n  \nBrenda Muñoz\n \nBrenda Muñoz has over 20 years of experience working with labor unions and organizations in the nonprofit\, public\, and private sectors to improve the lives and well-being of working people. She has diverse skills as an organizer\, strategic researcher\, policy analyst\, and manager. \n  \nPrior to joining the Labor Center\, Brenda led the strategic and programmatic direction of the Kaiser Permanente Labor Management Partnership’s Labor Liaison Program. She served as a bridge between public and private sector union leaders and Kaiser Permanente leaders on health benefit and worker well-being issues. Earlier\, Brenda worked as a policy analyst at the federal Government Accountability Office (GAO)\, and\, as a graduate student\, with the San Francisco Office of Labor Standards Enforcement researching and analyzing employer compliance with the historic San Francisco Health Care Security Ordinance. As a staff member at the Berkeley-based nonprofit Labor Project for Working Families\, Brenda conducted outreach and education among union members around work and family balance issues. She also worked at AFSCME in several states\, including California\, Maryland\, and New Mexico\, as both an organizer and a strategic researcher. Brenda has a Master of Public Policy degree from the University of California\, Berkeley. She enjoys hiking\, crafting\, and photography. \nSatoshi Yanai\n \nSatoshi Yanai is the Senior Assistant Attorney General of the Worker Rights and Fair Labor Section at the California Department of Justice. The mission of the Worker Rights and Fair Labor Section is to utilize the broad legal powers of the Office of the Attorney General to conduct investigations\, litigation\, and policy advocacy in order to combat systemic business practices that undermine the economic security\, health and safety\, and dignity of California workers\, and to maintain a level playing field for legitimate businesses operating in the State. Prior to joining the California Department of Justice in 2007\, Satoshi advocated on behalf of workers at the U.S. Department of Labor\, Office of the Solicitor; at the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (now the California Civil Rights Department); and in private practice at a firm representing labor unions and multiemployer employee benefit plans.
