Mediation
Upward and Onward: Memphis Lawyers and Mediators Keep the Movement Alive
The ADR section of the Memphis Bar has been actively pushing the local General Sessions Court to adopt a "Mediator of the Day" style project that is voluntary. One of the Judges created a special 9 am docket for pro se litigants every Wednesday. On that day one of the volunteer mediators offers pro bono mediation services to the litigants. First we explain why and what we are doing, then for those who are willing, we go to a conference room around the corner.

Mediators Judge should read "Mistakes Were Made" and "Sway"...
I get an occasional publication from the California State Bar section for solo firms. (I actually only joined it so I could get access to the regs for paralegals because I was teaching "Paralegal Studies" at ITT Tech. A joy I will not go into here.)
I always read these pubs, because I am always curious to know what the legal profession is up to, even when I am mostly avoiding DOING what they are up to.

Law Students Practical and Flexible Mediation: Tools for Breaking Impasse and Settling Cases, Considerations for Litigators and Mediators
Section:
Expanding Our Toolboxes: Skills for a New Paradigm Disputing parties and their lawyers go to mediation to settle cases. I propose that mediators are most useful when we have a wide array of settlement tools at our disposal. This article is written for litigators thinking about using mediation to settle cases and for mediators thinking about the range of acceptable mediator activity. (ii) Disputes have many similarities, but also many differences. Mediators must be prepared for and flexible in dealing with a variety of challenges including: high emotion, different negotiating styles, distrust, legal issues, and at times relationship building.
