Please join us on June 11 for a webinar on ABA Ethics Opinion 518, which is causing shock waves in the world of mediation. While many are critical of it, others say it heralds the dawn of a golden age in our field. This webinar will provide valuable food for thought as to whether moves we may make as mediators are ethical – both for ourselves and the lawyers with whom we work. If you want to make better, more thoughtful choices in the moment, every mediation day, this is the webinar for you. Register via the link below.
