Mediator Forum offered by ADR Section, December 15

The Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the State Bar of Michigan announces its latest Mediator Forum for ADR Section members to meet, connect and exchange ideas. It will be held at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 15, at Varnum LLP, 160 W. Fort Street, Fifth Floor in Detroit.

The goal is to foster an exciting forum where mediators and arbitrators can share, network, and learn from one another. Beer, wine, and hors d’oeuvres are provided.

There will be a brief presentation, “Early Mediation of Employment Disputes,” by Earlene Baggett-Hayes, Richard A. Hooker, and Sheldon J. Stark. Submit questions to the presentation panel in advance by e-mailing Shel Stark at shel@starkmediator.com.

Small group discussion topics include the timing of opening offers—when and how, managing extreme opening offers and counter-offers, explaining party justification/rationale for an offer, dealing with party/advocate impatience, techniques for responding to charges an offer has “nuisance value,” and the sharing of a “favorite” technique.
