The eighth and final book in our summer feature, The Young Advocates Series, is Mediation for Civil Litigators: Issues and Solutions. Author John Hollander wrote these pithy guidebooks for new lawyers, but they offer great advice for advocates at any stage. This Irwin Law series is available in print at several Courthouse Library branches and electronically if you have registered for remote access to VLex.
Law school rarely provides rigorous training in negotiation skills, yet the art of negotiation is central to the mediation process, the purpose of which is to facilitate settlement. Offering perspectives from several mediators, this handbook provides numerous commentaries and opinions about different aspects of mediation, as well as practical tips for successful negotiation and management of the mediation process.
