Description: Effective litigators understand that mediation requires a different skill set in order to enhance the possibility of success. That is certainly true in the mediation of employment litigation. This session focuses on the strategies, tactics, and skills which are unique to that mediation context, including:

· The need for effective pre-mediation preparation of the case and the client.
· How to prepare an effective pre-mediation statement
· Evaluating the desirability of opening statements
· Exploration of creative options for settlement
