In partnership with the Santa Clara County Bar Association, JAMS is hosting a reception in the JAMS Silicon Valley Resolution Center, followed by a MCLE program, "Practical Aspects of Mediation (Do's and Don'ts)," led by Hon. Vanessa A. Zecher (Ret.).
Judge Zecher will discuss practical approaches to mediation, including managing difficult clients, communicating a client’s position effectively to the mediator, positioning a client for resolution, and using time efficiently during the mediation process. Through the use of hypotheticals, attendees will have the opportunity to test out different strategies in a supportive, hands-on environment.
The evening will begin with a hosted reception at 5:00 PM, followed by the MCLE program from 5:30–6:30 PM.
