"Fundamentals of Mediation" Under the Microscope

Common Ground Newsletter - Spring 2010

Imagine the energy of a group of men and women ranging in age from 25 to 70 years with varied employment experience from 1 to 41 years including lawyers, social workers, and human resource professionals, all of whom have one thing in common: they want to learn mediation skills. In the 7th year of teaching our course Fundamentals of Mediation, it was time - maybe even the time was overdue - to do a more formal research study about the effectiveness of the course.
