October 1, 2021 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am

Most attorneys are now familiar with the mediation process. Yet many litigation attorneys, who will spend hours preparing for deposition or trial, think all that is needed for effective mediation advocacy is a good night’s sleep. Join experienced mediators Hon. Daniel H. Weinstein (Ret.) and Bruce Edwards, Esq to learn the skills necessary to more effectively advocate your client’s position in mediation while learning proven communication and negotiation techniques for a winning outcome.
Speakers: Hon. Daniel Weinstein (Ret.) and Bruce A. Edwards, Esq.
