Mediator Meetings
What does this course achieve?
Mediator Meetings are held for accredited mediators to get together to hear about recent developments in the field of mediation, both locally and internationally. The Meetings are also an opportunity for mediators to hear from interesting speakers about pertinent subjects which will add to their knowledge and skills as mediators, and an opportunity to practice skills. At least four Mediator Meetings are held each year, in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. Each meeting is two hours long, followed by an opportunity for networking over drinks and canapés.
Course outline
Our mediator meetings in 2018 will focus on a number of topics, including:
- Law for non-lawyer mediators
