¿Qué mediador soy yo? (10/29/08)
Metidos en la multidisciplina en que los cuestionamientos a cada ciencia surgen desde otras ciencias y los objetos de cada ciencia pasan a ser cuestionados y los parámetros tradicionales que nos daban información sobre nuestro ser profesional cayeron en la guerra de fronteras entre los paradigmas modernos y los posmodernos, ¿qué hacemos?
A Tool for Multi-Party Insurance Litigation Mediation with "Additional Insureds" (10/27/08)

An Unprecedented Mediation In Poland (10/20/08)
A few days ago the Polish media were savouring the news that the court had appointed a “professional mediator” in a lawsuit between Janusz Kaczmarek, former Minister of the Interior and Administration versus Jaroslaw Kaczynski former Prime Minister, now the chairman of the political party Law and Justice (PiS).

Mindfulness: Techniques For Achieving Clarity Of Awareness (10/20/08)
Achieving mindfulness moves mediators to higher levels of consciousness. Through self-awareness, practitioners minimize, if not eliminate, personal influences that can contribute to an unhealthy environment and prevent them from recognizing opportunities for positive change within the resolution process. Mindfulness is working in the here and now, aware of the present.

Constructive Ambiguity In Neighbour – Neighbour Mediation (10/06/08)
The term ‘constructive ambiguity’ is often attributed to Henry Kissinger and is a negotiating tactic used to cover up areas of disagreement or to save face of those taking part in negotiations. It is a technique most often seen in the context of international affairs, but can the same tactic be used in the less exalted surrounds of a neighbour – neighbour dispute? And if it can, is its use an example of good practice or superficiality in mediation?
Dealing With Worldviews In Interpersonal Conflict (10/06/08)
What fuels our daily experiences? Why are we so challenged by the dynamics of interpersonal relationships? Whether a CEO, a police officer, a parent, a lawyer, a news reporter, or a senator, we all face decisions on how to deal with the events of the day. The “how” is determined by our uniquely personal worldviews – the lens through which we interpret the world. Gaining an understanding of one’s personal worldview – its components and mechanisms – is a potent way to expand our ability to deal with conflict.

Rule 68 and Offers of Judgment, Part I: How They Work and Why You Should Care (9/30/08)
I once had a client tell me: “I’m in the outsourcing business, not the litigation business.” He would probably read the title to this post and say something like: “I’m a client. Why do I care about rule anything?” Whether you are a client or a lawyer involved in US litigation, Rule 68 and similar state rules are important to you for two reasons: they can get cases resolved when nothing else can, and few lawyers use them effectively.
