UCCR 12TH ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM - MAY 20TH AND 21ST

 

Most of us have been impacted by the down economy and have experienced significant changes this past year. Much has been lost this past year, but much more can be created. The solutions to today's problems may originate from the minds and abilities of those within the conflict resolution field. We need not despair or hide, but rather delight in what we know and what we can do and become. Our skills, talents and profession must be center stage and in the spotlight, and we must perform at the highest standard; that may make all the difference in the world! While planning the 2010 UCCR symposium, the committee and I tried to be mindful of the daily strains and demands confronting its attendees, while also recognizing the vast opportunities available and potential to be realized. We are so very fortunate this year to host some of the biggest and brightest stars in the field of conflict resolution. I know that everyone that attends will walk away with some additional tools, more confidence in their creative abilities and the encouragement to go in a direction that unlocks their full potential and satisfies their strongest ambitions. I invite everyone to join us Center Stage as we prepare to step into the spotlight and exceed expectations!

About the Course

With the rise of mediation in our state it is more important than ever for advocates to understand the dynamics of mediation, and how they can best represent their clients in the mediation process. Mediation can be beneficial to both the courts, the litigants and society as a whole when the parties prepare and present their case thoroughly and diligently with an intent to negotiate in good faith and with an eye toward resolution.

Simply put, mediation is negotiation facilitated by a third party. Negotiation occurs throughout the mediation process, from the beginning when the client and advocate discuss the idea of mediation to the end when closure is put on the process through an acceptable agreement. There are different stages in the mediation process and various forms and styles of negotiation that take place in each stage. There is no doubt most advocates possess extraordinary negotiation skills, and when applied correctly in mediation great results can be achieved. The advocate as negotiator should prepare his or her negotiation strategy by breaking down each stage of the mediation process.

The mediation process can be broken down into five stages: convening, opening, communication, negotiation and closing. Negotiation in some form or another occurs in each one of these five stages even though only one stage carries the name negotiation. There are certain negotiation styles, strategies, techniques and tactics that should be used by the advocate in each stage in order to reach a satisfactory resolution. The advocate should not move on to the next stage until the negotiation in the previous stage is complete, doing so could jeopardize an agreement or fluster an otherwise painless process. By analyzing each stage one can better appreciate the negotiation power of the advocate in the mediation process and what it can do for the client’s case.

Join us as we discuss new and innovative negotiation strategies, tactics, and techniques available to advocates seeking optimum results in mediation. Meticulous preparation and strategy is key to the success of any litigation and is essential in mediation as well. Come learn valuable negotiation skills and principles which will help achieve successful results for you and your clients in the mediation process.
