UPCOMING EVENTS
40 Hours of Civil Mediation Training – February 5, 6, 7, 2025
The civil mediation training is specifically designed for those lawyers who want to become civil mediators in Louisiana and Mississippi. Mediators from other states who need basic introductory mediation training or those mediators who need continuing mediation education can also benefit from this training. The mediation training will be conducted on the Zoom platform with breakout rooms for simulations, exercises, and role plays. The training will include instruction for mediations done in person as well as online.
The 40 hours of civil mediation training consists of 20 hours of On-Demand, Asynchronous, Self-Paced Training on the Internet as well as 20 hours of live synchronous mediation training over three days on the Zoom platform.
The three days of live civil mediation training on the Zoom platform will introduce new mediators to the various ADR processes and specifically to the civil mediation process. The dynamic online training presents a variety of topics that are of interest to civil mediators. Presentations include the opening statement, phases of the mediation process including the joint session and the caucus, the basics of legal negotiations, effective communication skills in mediations, handling hurricane mediations, mediating with lawyers, marketing a mediation practice, and working with a large mediation company. The mediation training will also teach mediators how to handle the tough issues that arise in civil mediations and how to break impasse and reach agreement. The training will provide participants all the training hours needed to become civil mediators in
Louisiana and Mississippi.
Our training is specifically designed for professionals who are licensed as attorneys, but the training would also be beneficial to other professionals who conduct civil and family mediations such as psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, marriage and family counselors, professional
counselors, or clergymen.
After completing the civil mediation training, mediators in Mississippi will be able to mediate all types of cases. And civil mediators in Louisiana will be able to mediate all types of civil cases.
