Three-Day Commercial Mediation Training
We are delighted to let you know that this March, Steve Hochman and I will be presenting the Three-Day/24 Credit Commercial Mediation Training which we have conducted for more than 20 years, first through the Courts and now, for the tenth year in a row, through NYSBA’s Dispute Resolution Section. The program is approved under Part 146 as three of the five days required for mediators on the Court's Commercial Mediation Panel.
Also, as an early warning, on June 11th-12th, we will be offering our 2-day Advanced training, which combined with this course, satisfies the training requirement. Registration for the 2 day training can be found at http://www.nysba.org/store/events/registration.aspx?event=DRSSU19.
This year’s program will be held on Tuesday-Thursday, March 19th-21st. It is co-sponsored and hosted by the ADR program of Fordham University School of Law and will be held at Fordham Law's amazing new Lincoln Center facility. A detailed flyer is pasted below. Registration is open and now live at http://www.nysba.org/store/events/registration.aspx?event=DRSSP19
It would be great if you can join us. Please forward this note and flyer to anyone who might be interested.
Many thanks and best regards.
