Mediation And Social Norms: A Response To Dame Hazel Genn
by Charlie Irvine
The article is a response to Dame Hazel Genn’s 2008 Hamlyn Lecture, in which she characterised mediators as having ‘no interest in justice and fairness’. The article argues that mediators’ own rhetoric has allowed this caricature to develop and suggests that, in practice, mediators are no longer indifferent to norms like justice and fairness, if they ever were. Drawing on the work of Ellen Waldman and Julie MacFarlane the article examines the role of social norms and ethical codes in mediation practice, and calls on mediators to examine their values, as explanatory principles from which myriad moment-by-moment choices flow.

Race, Gender, and Class: How Much Of A Role Do They Play In Mediation?
by Elizabeth Moreno
Recent studies have come to life as to the role race, gender and class of the mediator plays in mediation. Does race play any discernible role in mediation compared to gender or socioeconomic class?
Mediation In Healthcare
by Holly Hayes Bovio
A new leadership standard issued in January 2009 by The Joint Commission, the accrediting body for hospitals, addresses the development of a code of conduct that defines acceptable, disruptive, and inappropriate behaviors; and requires the creation and implementation of a process for managing disruptive and inappropriate behaviors.
