DESCRIPTION:The UC Law San Francisco Center for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution (CNDR)\, at the University of California College of Law\, San Francisco\, in partnership with the JAMS Foundation\, is proud to present the International Mediation Development & Leadership Institute (IMDLI). IMDLI is intended for a diverse group of professionals—lawyers\, judges\, court administrators\, academics\, mediators\, and others—interested in learning how to cultivate robust mediation ecosystems in their home countries and how to become an effective leader of mediation implementation and development. Top-level U.S. and international experts drawn from the court system\, private ADR institutions\, and universities will share best practices and lessons learned from decades of ADR reform experience—information that is rarely available to the public. Anticipated topics covered: \n\nHow mediation can promote access to justice and help reduce court backlogs\nHow to design and operate mediation centers (public/court annexed and private)\nHow to build capacity and ensure that such centers are sustainable into the future\nHow to draft mediation legislation and rules\nThe advantages and disadvantages of voluntary\, mandatory\, and judicial referral models\nHow to convince mediation skeptics and secure their buy-in\nThe social\, political\, economic\, and legal ingredients and interventions necessary for a mediation center to thrive and for an ADR ecosystem or culture to take root\nThe importance of data collection and analysis\nWhat empirical research on ADR tells us about the who\, what\, where\, when\, and how of mediation\, including what works and what does not\nFactors that have helped drive the success of mediation in the U.S. and other key jurisdictions\n\nMore information here.\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Fall 2026 ADR Speaker Series - Last Resorts: Using Counter-Design in ADR and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 23\, 2026 from 12:30-1:30pm (PT)\nLast Resorts: Using Counter-Design in ADR and Beyond\nDan Berstein\, MHS | MH Mediate \nAndrew Mamo\, Professor of Law\, University of Cincinnati\, Donald P. Klekamp College of Law \nVia Zoom \nRSVP HERE \nCollaborative conflict resolution processes aren’t always possible\, especially in bureaucracies where communication is limited. When all else fails\, rejected parties can still make progress: Andrew Mamo introduced a theory of “counter-design\,” where parties challenge and reimagine dispute resolution systems through activities like unveiling\, tagging\, and assembling. An example is Dan Berstein’s work convincing dispute resolution organizations to update policies that were stigmatizing mental illness. This workshop uses Dan’s stories as counter-design case studies. Participants will receive tools they can use right away to [1] create better systems so there is no need for counter-design\, and [2] apply counter-design strategies when stuck in a system that is not working. \n  \nAndrew Mamo\nAndrew Mamo is a professor of law at the University of Cincinnati Donald P. Klekamp College of Law. His research concerns the history and theory of dispute resolution and negotiation\, with an emphasis on the history of dispute resolution practices\, the role of technology in dispute resolution\, and the professionalization of dispute resolution. His current projects include a study of the institutionalization of dispute resolution services in the late twentieth century. Mamo received his SB in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, his PhD in history from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and his JD from Harvard Law School. After graduating from law school\, Mamo clerked for Judge Hisashi Owada and Judge Julia Sebutinde of the International Court of Justice in The Hague. He then worked on cross-border capital markets and project finance transactions at a major international law firm in Singapore. Mamo joined Harvard Law School as Lecturer in Law and a Clinical Instructor at the Harvard Negotiation and Mediation Clinical Program\, teaching negotiation and supervising teams of clinical students representing clients on a range of dispute systems design projects. Prior to joining the College of Law\, he was an Assistant Professor of Law at Northern Illinois University College of Law. \n  \nDan Berstein\nDan Berstein is a mediator living with bipolar disorder\, working to adapt conflict resolution best practices to promote empowering mental health communication and prevent mental illness discrimination. Since 2012\, Dan’s company\, MH Mediate\, has helped professionals\, organizations\, and government agencies address challenging behaviors without discriminating against people who have mental health conditions. MH Mediate provides free resources to help different stakeholders use conflict resolution tools to prevent mental illness stigma. They are hosted on the Dispute Resolution In Mental Health Initiative (DRMH Initiative) website\, originally funded by the AAA-ICDR Foundation and developed in partnership with the CUNY Dispute Resolution Center. MH Mediate’s Mental Health Safe Project (MH Safe) also provides free addendum content to parties affected by discriminatory guidance about mental illness. Its DisabilityRadar.com website empowers people to anonymously report problems. Dan leads the Rights\, Ethics\, and Voices in Dispute Resolution (REV-DR) project to help parties know their rights and how to respond to misconduct. Mitchell Hamline School of Law’s DRI Press recently published a new edition of Dan’s book\, Mental Health and Conflicts: A Handbook for Empowerment\, which was originally published by the ABA. Dan holds degrees from the Wharton School and the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. \n  \nFor more information on the Fall 2026 ADR Speaker Series\, please visit the CNDR website. \n

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.
