Product Description

 

MCLE is pleased to present this four-day, thirty-hour Workshop designed specifically for training mediators with knowledge of basic divorce law.

Rule 8 of the Uniform Rules on Dispute Resolution provides system-wide standards for court-connected alternative dispute resolution services in Massachusetts. Rule 8’s guidelines establish training, evaluation, mentoring, and continuing education requirements for mediators, among others. Who needs Rule 8 training? Mediators, guardian ad litems, parenting coordinators, arbitrators, case evaluators, conciliators, neutrals for mini-trials and summary jury trials, and dispute intervenors. Without the training, you can’t be on the list!

What’s covered?

This Workshop trains mediators in divorce, custody and parenting plans, support, paternity, and other family law matters. It enables you to serve as a family law mediator in compliance with state requirements.

Special focus

The emphasis is on interactive participation in a facilitative mediation model and “learning by doing.” The training blends theory and practice to enhance the performance of trainees. A variety of learning techniques cater to individual learning styles. Lecture and role-play sessions cover basic considerations in the types of issues that arise in family law disputes addressed by mediation.
