Mediation 360: Preparation from the Defense, Plaintiff, and Mediator Perspective

About this program
Panelists will address mediation preparation and the issues that arise in mediation — including consent clauses, conflicts among clients, properly preparing claims personnel and insureds, properly preparing plaintiffs, mediator's expectations and tools, and mediator's proposals. Drawing on their combined experience on both sides of the table and in the neutral seat, the panelists will address common sticking points that derail mediations — and how to avoid them. The program will be moderated.
This OnDemand CLE program earns 1 hour of General credit in California. It aired March 24, 2026 and features Michael C. Douglass, Joshua Furman, David Samani, and Peter Thompson.
