In this episode, online mediation expert, Susan Guthrie reviews the options for the all-important memorialization of agreements reached in a virtual proceeding.
It's a great day when a mediation or dispute resolution proceeding results in an agreement but when the process is virtual, and all or most participants are remote from each other, memorializing and executing the settlement agreement can be difficult. After all, no one is sitting in your conference room with pen in hand ready to sign on the dotted line. For dispute resolution professionals, it is essential to have one, two or even three options for creating, reviewing and executing documents at the ready so that the key step of memorializing the agreement is not delayed or overly complicated. This episode gives you all the current updates and methods for getting things signed, sealed and delivered!

The first line of defense is awareness and in this episode, Susan Guthrie shares several situtations specific to virtual proceedings that may give rise to the potential for bias.

In this episode, Susan Guthrie speaks with Jeff Kichaven, one of the country's top mediators and a Legal Thought Leader, about his recently published article in Law360, "What You Say in Online Mediation May be Discoverable" which is causing quite a stir in the mediation community!
For many practitioners, the idea of mediation confidentiality is a given. In fact, many mediators include a confidentiality agreement in their agreement to mediate and tout the promise of confidentiality to participants. The problem? According to experienced mediator and attorney, Jeff Kichaven, and his co-authors Theresa Frisbie and Tyler Codina in their article for Law360, "What You Say in Online Mediation May Be Discoverable", the promise of confidentiality is not one that a mediator has the power to keep and by making that promise, mediators run a risk they may not wish to take after hearing this episode. Find out what the risks are, how the rise of online mediation adds to those risks and what Jeff suggests mediators do to solve the problem, all in this episode!
Learn more about this week's Special Guest: Jeff Kichaven, is "Ranked in Chambers (USA) 2020" as one of the country's top mediators, and "Who's Who Legal" lists him as a "Global Elite Thought Leader" in mediation, one of only five in the United States and 20 in the world. He is an Honors Graduate of Harvard Law School, a Phi Beta Kappa Graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and an Elected Member of the American Law Institute. His recent articles on the lack of confidentiality to online mediations have shaken our thinking about how we have always done things.

On this episode, Host and Online Mediation Expert, Susan Guthrie is joined by veteran Workers' Compensation Mediator, Elliot Herland who describes his journey from online mediation novice to seasoned veteran of ODR and the many ways going online has been a "joy-generator" for him.
For many mediators, arbitrators and advocates, the recent disruption of their established practices, due to the constraints imposed by the COVID quarantine, has brought fear and dismay into their world. The inability to continue to meet with clients and participants in person to conduct dispute resolution proceedings left many with the feeling that they were forced to consider moving online. That is not to say that they were excited by the idea. In fact, most reported being worried they would lose the personal touch, that the tech was too hard and frankly, that they would look less than in charge of their proceeding.
Elliot Herland, a successful mediator and arbitrator since 1997 felt much the same as he faced the need to conduct his mediations online. There was much to learn and and the timeline was short as people realized that COVID would not be a momentary disruption. Although Elliot at first was leery of the new platform, he soon realized that there were benefits to the online medium and he was still helping people to resolve their disputes, much as he had in person. In fact, he now describes online mediation as one of his "joy-generators" and encourages other practitioners and attorneys to consider giving online mediation a try! Hear some of Elliot's tips and insights from his journe from fear to ODR Adopter in this episode of the Learn to Mediate Online Podcast!
