Nina's work, and the work of the Institute for Dispute Resolution is gradually becoming recognized as they lead the way into a legal and economic environment that grows increasingly uncertain. Today, lawyers, judges and clients are struggling to find ways to do justice. Nina has been there to help for a long time, and we hope she can be there for a long time to come - with skill and with love. |

I had the great pleasure and good fortune to complete my Mediation and Advanced Mediation training with Nina, at the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution. She evoked my passion for mediation, which had been obscured by 30 years as a trial and transactional attorney. Her accomplishments as an innovator in the field, and as an instructor, are clearly ascertainable from the interview. Thanks Nina. |
