Program Description
As a litigator, you don’t leave your courtroom skills to chance. The majority of cases are won or lost before going to trial, and you need to be just as vigilant about your advocacy skills outside the courtroom. Our lead instructors will walk you through a live mediation in freeze frame, whereby you will critically analyze which strategies are working, which are not and why. You will learn a broad range of techniques critical to your success as an advocate at mediation.
Topics include:
- preparing for mediation – not as easy at it looks
- strategies for dealing with different advocacy styles
- navigating impasses at the bargaining table
- managing difficult players
- confidentiality and conflicts of interest
- thorny ethical dilemmas, and more
Expand your litigation toolkit by attending this interactive program. Audience participation is encouraged. Sold out two years in a row in Toronto. Register early to avoid disappointment as enrolment is limited.
