Overview
Develop your ability to effectively advocate for your clients within mediation by understanding how your own ethical frameworks shape your approach.
Mediation is becoming increasingly common in the legal landscape. However, traditional legal training often focuses on courtroom advocacy, leaving lawyers with little guidance on how to effectively support clients in mediation.
This course provides you with practical guidance on developing your mediation advocacy skills, starting from the foundation of understanding the ethical frameworks that shape a lawyer’s participation in mediation. You will explore the different ethical orientations and roles lawyers can adopt in mediation, and complete practical activities that provide insights into your own approach. You will also gain a clear understanding of how to tailor your involvement in mediation to achieve the best outcomes for your clients in a way that is consistent with your own professional values.
