The increasing trend of administrative tribunals requiring parties to try to mediate before moving onto a hearing can help establish the collaborative attempt as part of the path to addressing conflict. An expert panel from the tribunal world will shed light on the approach being taken in an interactive presentation that will examine how this trend serves the greater promotion of mediation.
This session aims to help private practice mediators market their services and mediation in general; enlighten aspiring dispute resolution professionals with respect to trends and thought processes used in the embedding of mediation into the public justice system; and provide stats and contemporary system design considerations. The focus of the session is on the changing approach taken by administrative tribunals to better embrace mediation and how this contributes to greater service growth opportunities to the ADR community.
