Mediation Essentials Toolkit: A Practitioner's Emergency Survival Guide

by Douglas J. Witten

The Mediation Essentials A Practitioner's Emergency Survival Guide is designed for the legal practitioner seeking usable techniques to enhance mediation tactical advocacy skills. Attorneys and legal professionals who advocate on behalf of their clients at mediation can draw on the tools this handbook outlines to improve negotiation tactics, train associates on the basics of mediation practice, build trust among fellow lawyers and clients, and generate long-term, positive results. The Mediation Essentials Toolkit is concise and easy to read. This handbook is written for the busy professional looking for time-tested guidance on how to survive, and thrive, at the negotiating table even when the odds weigh against success. Every case is unique, and each negotiation has its own composition and flavor. Sometimes, the facts of your case are bad and the law is against you. Other times, you have either good facts or good law, but not both. However, if you incorporate the described mediation tools into your legal practice, to whatever degree, you can help your clients optimize their negotiation satisfaction over the long haul.
