SUMMARY:Pathways to Law Teaching
DESCRIPTION:If you are considering or would like to learn more about becoming a law professor\, please join us for a pre-recruitment workshop at UC College of the Law\, San Francisco (“UC Law SF\,” formerly “UC Hastings”) on August 5. This half-day event is co-hosted by participating ABA-accredited law schools in Northern California in coordination with the American Association of Law Schools. It is one of several regional workshops taking place nationally. \n  \nThe co-hosts of the August 5 regional workshop in San Francisco include: \n\nSanta Clara University School of Law\nStanford Law School\nUC Berkeley School of Law\nUC Davis School of Law\nUC Law SF (formerly “UC Hastings”)\nUOP McGeorge School of Law\nUniversity of San Francisco School of Law\n\nThe August 5 half-day workshop focuses on pathways to securing full-time law school faculty roles that involve a mix of teaching and research\, commonly called “tenure-track roles.” The event is free to registered attendees. It includes two substantive panels. The first focuses on pre-market considerations\, such as how to create a scholarly record and prepare a “job talk” article\, pre-market teaching opportunities such as “VAPs” and fellowships\, and information on how to apply for tenure-track positions. The second panel focuses on the interview process at law schools\, including advice on how to give a successful job talk\, how to interview well\, and the hiring process\, including timelines. \n  \nAgain\, the focus of this particular workshop on August 5 is on tenure-track (teaching and research) positions at ABA-accredited law schools. There are many other rewarding pathways into and in legal academia\, including teaching as a part-time (adjunct) professor or serving in full-time teaching roles that do not involve research\, such as in contract clinical\, writing\, or other lawyering skills teaching roles. This workshop does not address those other pathways. However\, a prior workshop held last year at UC Berkeley School of Law did\, and you can find recordings of those sessions on this page. \n  \nTo register\, you must complete this registration survey. Be sure to select the San Francisco iteration of the pre-recruitment event. As a standard security precaution\, only registered participants will be admitted to the event. Please bring a form of identification such as a driver’s license. \n  \nFor more information and resources\, see these pages: \n\n2025 Pre-Recruitment Workshop at UC Berkeley School of law.\nAALS “Becoming a Law Teacher” website.\nAALS list of pre-market VAP and fellowship programs.\nNational tenure-track hiring data.\n\n  \n\n\n\nContents\n\n\nProgram Schedule\n\n\nSpeaker Biographies\n\n\nMore Information\n\n\n\n\nProgram Schedule\n\n\n\nTime\nProgram\n\n\n8:30 am – 9:15 am\n\nBreakfast \n\n\n\n9:15 am – 9:30 am\n\nWelcome Remarks \n\n\n\n9:30 am – 10:50 am\n\nPanel #1 Pre-Market Considerations \n\n\n\n 10:50 am – 11:00 am\n\nBreak\n\n\n11:00 am – 12:30 pm\n\nPanel #2 Job Talks and Interviews \n\n\n\n12:15 pm – 12:30 pm \n\nLunch Break \n\n\n\n12:30 pm – 1:30 pm \n\n\nLunch and Networking \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Biographies\n \nJennifer M.

SUMMARY:Reflective Mediation Practice Group
DESCRIPTION:Bring your mediation practice to the next level by participating in a reflective practice group! \nReflective practice groups are among the most effective ongoing learning experiences available to mediators. Under the guidance of an experienced mediator and facilitator\, a small group of mediators meets regularly to take turns reflecting on their individual mediation cases. The group supports the mediator presenting a case to discover what mediator interventions worked best and what mediator behaviors created challenges. This collaborative exploration enhances awareness of the dynamics at play and increases the potential of learning from each mediation experience. Participants will be expected to anonymize all case identifying information so as to ensure strict confidentiality. \nBeginning in January 2026\, the Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution (CNDR) at UC Law San Francisco will offer a 6-session monthly practice group led by experienced mediator and mediation trainer Howard Herman. Currently a mediator at JAMS\, Howard pioneered the use of practice groups for mediators at the U.S. District Court in San Francisco where he led the court’s ADR Program for 23 years\, and where many mediators participated continuously in groups he led for over 15 years. Howard also has led practice groups for mediators in India and Brazil. Howard’s fuller biography can be found at jamsadr.com/herman. \n  \nGroup Structure and Approach \nThe group will meet in person. It will be limited to 12 participants and is open to all practicing mediators. Generally\, each session will be focused on mediator presentations of cases in which they have been involved. Rather than starting with a topic\, discussion flows from what actually happened and the choices the mediator made throughout the process. \nKey to a successful group is the creation of a safe and confidential environment of mutual support and respect\, making stable membership and small group size important. Participants commit to in-person attendance at all six two-hour sessions\, and to write up and present at least one case for discussion during the six-month period. \nMCLE: 12 hours general credit for the series\, including 1 hour of elimination of bias credit (excludes implicit bias/bias reducing strategies)\, 1 hour of competence credit (excludes prevention and detection)\, and 1 hour of ethics credit \nCost: $595 for the full series \nIf you are interested in joining the group\, please complete this application. \nApplications will be taken on a rolling basis until the group is full.

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.
