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. Please note:
o 24 hours of Initial Mediation Training is a prerequisite to taking a 16-Hour Additional Case-Type Specific Skills Training for the purpose of applying to serve on a court roster.
o Final placement on any court roster is at the discretion of the local Administrative Judge, and participation in a course does not guarantee placement on a local court roster.
o Some courts may require additional training and experience beyond Part 146’s requirements.
o 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.
This Advanced Commercial Mediation Training begins with an exploration of the special considerations for mediators engaged in commercial dispute resolution. The training includes an in-depth analysis of the impact that commercial matters have on the way a mediator prepares for and facilitates negotiations. Participants will engage in several mediation simulation exercises, group discussions and exercises to build an appreciation for the nuance of mediating commercial disputes.

“Ms Gleason Alvarez has a strong command of the subject matter. Her knowledge is vast and her delivery of the detailed information is clear, organized and precise. She has excellent oral skills, was able to manage technology, questions, zoom breakout rooms and many other aspects of her class. Each day we had interactive mediation practices where every student had an opportunity to act as mediator... This class very much exceeded my expectations and I look forward to participating in any other class offered by Ms. Gleason Alvarez.”
