The next Basic Mediation Training will take place online from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST
on September 18, 19, 25, 26, and October 2, 3, 2023.
This Part 146 approved 24-hour course will introduce you to the practice of mediation and prepare you to work as a mediator.
Registration is limited to 9 people.
24 NYS CLE (pending).

This Basic Mediation course begins with an exploration of alternative dispute resolution options available to parties and goes on to review negotiation theories and strategies that come into play in ADR processes. The training includes an in-depth analysis of the mediation process and the role of the mediator, including how mediators can prepare for mediation, cultivate trust in the process, address ethical and legal issues that may arise, and work to resolve impasse. Participants will engage in several mediation simulation exercises under the guidance of experienced mediators.
This training is approved under Part 146 by the New York State Unified Court System’s Office of ADR Program and satisfies Part 146 requirements, with at least 24 hours of initial mediation training. Placement on any court roster is at the discretion of the local Administrative Judge and participation in a course that is approved does not guarantee placement on a local court roster. Some courts may require additional training and experience. Acceptance on court rosters may depend on a court’s need for mediators at any given time and may include a particular court’s need for mediators with specific case-type training or experience.
