TexasBarCLE once again called on Alan to give a recorded webinar - his third, so far. Alan and Felicia Harris Hoss had a blast presenting this talk, punctuated with video clips from golf comedies:
Advanced Mediation Advocacy and Ethics:
Drive for Show, Putt for Dough
Long drives turn heads; putting skills win tournaments and fans. Trial practice is the same. Over 95% of disputes settle before the long drive to trial. The mediation session is often the closest thing to the client’s day in court. We’ll talk out client-centered advanced mediation and advocacy skills – like advising the client on the mediation process and timing, preparation, and strategy, and ways to effectively work with mediators. Our goal: Your clients will come running back to you and send their friends too.
Alan is a Houston area mediator. He helps parties resolve civil and employment disputes.
