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:Fundamentals of Mediation
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nA 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\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  \n \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\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.
