On September 30 and October 1, 2022, the ADR Section of the State Bar of Michigan will host its ADR Conference and Annual Meeting which will continue to be virtual. Our program recognizes the need to continue to offer advanced skills building, updates to the law, and also to address some important issues that intersect diversity and neutrality for providers. Up to 12 advanced mediation training credits will be offered.
