How to Use Experts Effectively in Mediation

About this program
Experts can be critical to the success of a mediation—but only if used strategically. Robert S. Mann and John D. Hanover explore how to effectively engage, prepare, and use experts to clarify technical or scheduling issues to support realistic negotiations without overpowering the process. This program covers selective disclosure of expert opinions, joint expert sessions, and the potential role of neutral experts, offering practical strategies to ensure experts enhance—rather than hinder—the path to resolution.
This OnDemand CLE program earns 1 hour of General credit in California. It aired August 28, 2025 and features John D. Hanover and Robert S. Mann.
