Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book will help you bargain more effectively in mediation. Dwight Golann's award-winning book, Mediating Legal Disputes, explained how commercial mediators settle cases. In Sharing a Mediator's Powers, he explains how advocates can harness these techniques to maximize their effectiveness in bargaining. Using examples from actual mediations, Golann offers specific suggestions about how to use mediators, and the process, to best effect. You will learn how to: get key players to the table, obtain access to evidence not provided in discovery, arrange a mediation format that matches your strategy, focus discussion on issues that help your case, probe the other side's state of mind, support cooperative, creative or competitive bargaining strategies, manage how a mediator evaluates a legal case, influence when and how impasse-breaking tactics are applied. The theme of this book? Don't approach the mediation process passively. Instead, use it in an active way to achieve your bargaining goals. Included with this book is a DVD that brings advocacy concepts alive. 24 excerpts show how to apply key techniques in the context of a commercial case"--Unedited summary from book.

Book excerpt: "Mediation is not a soft option for the advocate. If you are unprepared, if you do not know what to expect, if you do not know what you are doing, your client will be at a considerable disadvantage and you will come unstuck. This book is aimed at lawyers and other professional advocates who represent clients in mediation. It is written not only for ""first-timers"" needing to learn about the basics of mediation very quickly, particularly as to what they should expect and how they should prepare. More seasoned advocates wishing to specialise in mediation advocacy and who want to develop the particular skills that it requires will also find it invaluable. ""The advocacy skills necessary in a mediation are quite different from those required for the (usually civilised) battle that takes place in a courtroom. That is why Mediation Advocacy is such a valuable book. It gives a great deal of very useful advice as to how to prepare for and conduct a mediation from beginning to end. It is an

Book excerpt: This workbook is designed for basic mediation training. Authors Scott Hughes, Mark Bennett, and Michele Hermann take NITA's performance-based training for trial lawyers and adapt it to training for mediators. The authors have used these materials extensively in their mediation training classes at law schools and in programs open to the public. The Art of Mediation, Second Edition, sets the mediation process in context, provides basic definitions, contrasts mediation with other forms of dispute resolution, describes varieties of mediation, and lays out roles and functions of the mediators. The book contains forms that illustrate sample agreements to mediate and final mediation agreements, plus a section containing hypothetical situations for performance training. Reviews "I have used the first edition of The Art of Mediation in my classes for almost a decade and I definitely intend to use the Second Edition in the future. Students like the book because it is so practical and easy to read. I like it because it presents a variety of perspectives so that students learn that there is no one right or easy way to mediate." — John Lande, Associate Professor and Director, LL.M. Program in Dispute Resolution, University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law Columbia

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its first edition, Global Trends in Mediation was the first book to concentrate on mediation from a comparative perspective - reaching beyond the all-too-familiar Anglo-American view - and as such has enjoyed wide practical use among alternative dispute resolution (ADR) practitioners worldwide. This new edition has not only been updated throughout; it has also added two new jurisdictions (France and Quebec) and a very useful comparative table summarising the salient points from each of the fourteen jurisdictional chapters. Each jurisdictional chapter addresses critical structural and process issues in alternative dispute resolution such as the institutionalisation of mediation, mediation case law and legislation, the range and nature of disputes where mediation is utilised, court-related mediation, mediation practice standards, education, training and accreditation of mediators, the role of lawyers in mediation, online dispute resolution and future trends. All the contributors are senior dispute resolution academics or practitioners with vast knowledge and experience of dispute resolution developments in their countries and abroad.
