It's nice to know what mediators are really thinking. It is also really helpful to understand how critical the content of the mediation agreement really is.
Steve is a great instructor...
Nice presentation style
Great insights and new ideas about ethical requirements and boundaries for Rule 31 and beyond.
Excellent presentation
The Course material was very well organized and presented. The discussion covered a wide variety of very relevant issues concerning mediation. The written materials were also very helpful and well organized. Clearly, Atty. Shields is most knowledgeable about this topic and its evolution in the State of Tennessee.
I am not a Rule 31 mediator, but this course caused me to think about becoming one. I learned more about the role of the mediator and how the Rule governs the mediator's actions before, during, and after mediation.
Rule 31 listed mediators should file reports with the ADRC even if conducting non-Rule 31 mediations.
