I haven't used it in a while, but did integrate parts of it into my mediation agreement in the past. Why do't you cry and paste it into a Word document? Can't help on the CPD recording. Best of luck! ------------------------------ Donna Ross International ADR Practitioner Donna Ross ...

Hi Sharlene, There is no easy solution for building a mediation practice especially if you are only doing mediation. I could do a short zoom, but basically I think that having a specialization or niche is a good idea, such as employment law. Once you develop a reputation in that area, it is easier ...

At La Trobe Law School, Dispute Resolution is now a requirement for all students in the first semester and an elective for others. Given that all lawyers will either be involved in drafting clauses in contracts, advising clients or representing them as advocates in DR/ADR proceedings, this is a very ...

There used to be a saying 'arbitration is the new litigation'. And then 'mediation is the new arbitration'. I look forward to reading the article, but a comment from my experience, in line with what you have stated, is that many lawyers think they know how to represent clients in mediation and therefore ...

Hi Greg and all, First, very interesting article that makes one think about what tools we have in the toolbox, the theory behind their use as well as the art of mediation and the flow that sometimes cannot be well-defined. In addition to, or parallel with, a conference, a vade mecum or collection ...

It is sometimes difficult to decide whether to price lower than market or not for new mediators. The best thing is to check with other mediators in your field/geographical area and pick something within that range. ------------------------------ Donna Ross International ADR Practitioner Donna Ross Dispute ...

I have had some issues logging on and been busy with both facilitative and deteminative DR. Dalma has said quite well what I would have. I also agree with Barry and Dale. Whether alternative, amicable or appropriate, it is an alternative to litigation. Although litigation may be appropriate in some ...

Thanks, Victor. I use different terminology. My mediation agreement is with the parties and it is their - and my - agreement to mediate. Any settlement would be callled a settlement agreement, terms of settlement, deed of settlement as applicable or deteremined by lawyers if attending. Generally that ...

Thanks, Andrew. I have my own, also modified to include virtual platforms, but had heard someone saying they had lawyers sign so was wondering if that was common. Ditto for the confidentiality undertaking. ------------------------------ Donna Ross International ADR Practitioner Donna Ross Dispute ...

I usually only have parties sign my commercial mediation agreements. I was wondering if anyone has the lawyers sign also, as I have heard some do. There may be a difference between VIC and NSW - or other states - regarding confidentiality undertakings. Curious as to what others do. ----------- ...

Hi Nic, unfortunately I have a full day mediation on the second. If you send me a shorter blurb happy to send it out to my network. The easiest is probably by LinkedIn. Donna ------------------------------ Donna Ross International ADR Practitioner Donna Ross Dispute Resolution Melbourne VIC ...

Hi Julie, Would you have a moment to chat, perhaps on Friday? I was goinh to use Zoom for some and Teams for one person, but it would be good to see how I could use teams alone. Thanks! ------------------------------ Donna Ross International ADR Practitioner Donna Ross Dispute Resolution Melbourne ...
