Development Of Commercial Mediator Skills Training In England And Wales
James South 04/13/2009
The UK mediation market has developed organically, both in a self-regulatory sense and in the development of training programmes and growth of the market in general. This compares with the development of mediation in other international jurisdictions where regulation and standards have tended to come before the mediation market is established.

UK Civil Litigation Review
Geoff Sharp 05/18/2009
UK's Lord Justice Jackson published his Preliminary Civil Litigation Cost Review last Friday. I don't know the politics of this well enough to speculate whether this might be another Lord Woolf moment but given that any rethink of how litigation might work better normally impacts in some way on our world of mediating litigated cases, this may be worth a read (at 1000 pages!).

UK mediation group aims is to create 'badge of seniority' analogous to Silk
Geoff Sharp 09/23/2008
In a sign of our maturing profession, a small group of UK's mediation aristocracy known as The Panel of Independent Mediators plan to create 'a badge of seniority in the mediation profession analogous to the QC kite mark enjoyed by senior barristers' according to the latest issue of The Mediator Magazine.PIM, formed in the late '90's, is thought to handle a staggering one in five of all UK mediations from within its ranks. The collective has 18 veteran mediators on its books, all of whom have...

What UK Mediators Charge
Geoff Sharp 05/12/2008
In a kiss and tell article in the latest issue of The Mediator Magazine all is revealed about UK mediators' charge out rates in The Price is Wrong"... Setting charge-out rates for mediators is a complicated and sensitive issue. In the UK the market is so oversupplied that if the number of commercial cases available were distributed evenly among accredited mediators, no mediator would be handling more than one a year. Under such market conditions, pricing is emotive, and competition sharp....The ...

Northern Ireland and Its Walls of Peace
Gina Barbieri 01/07/2008
The backdrop for my trip to Derry/Londonderry and Belfast was the Women Leaders Building Peace and Prosperity Programme, hosted by Vital Voices Global Partnership. I was asked to attend as one of four representatives from South Africa. The remainder of our group of 14 women was made up of Arab and Jewish women living in Israel and working in economic and peace building initiatives, from the running of integrated schools to the management of leadership programmes for Arab and Jewish women. My knowledge of the areas we visited and the country I am now fascinated by remains pedestrian. But thanks to the incredibly well organised programme, I was fortunate enough to meet academics, community workers and political leaders all willing to share their views on how far Northern Ireland has come since 1994 and how far it still has to go. It is some of these views that this article seeks to capture.

Mediation And Social Norms: A Response To Dame Hazel Genn
Charlie Irvine 06/29/2009
The article is a response to Dame Hazel Genn’s 2008 Hamlyn Lecture, in which she characterized 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 this article examines the role of social norms and ethical codes in mediation practice, and calls on mediators to examine their values.

A Perfect Storm is Gathering
Michael Leathes 02/18/2009
A Perfect Storm is gathering, comprising the effects of severe economic downturn, the alacrity with which corporate law departments seek greater transparency and outcome certainty, and new tools in the field of information and communication technology. This convergence provokes serious changes in attitude and approach by all dispute resolution stakeholders – especially trial lawyers, mediators and mediation provider organizations. The status quo has had its day. Good news for those nimble enough to adapt quickly. This article is jointly written by a group of twelve institutional users of mediation services.

Henry Brown looks back
Geoff Sharp 07/07/2008
We all stand on the shoulders of our own Henry Browns. And one day I will tell you about mine.But for now, I imagine many UK mediators look to Henry Brown as their Henry Brown.This interview is a thoughtful look back at 25 years of life as a UK mediator.In particular, Brown makes the point that the mediation process has not dealt well with the strong sense of fairness brought to the table by the many who use it.‘We’ve got to do more work on understanding people’s attitudes...

The Standing Conference of Mediation Advocates and the Forum for Mediation Advocacy
Geoff Sharp 02/19/2008
Now that I've been a mediator for a while it's too easy to forget those early days when I was discovering mediation as an advocate in the courtroom one day, and feeling my way in a mediation the next.It sure was hard to make the switch.My head was always playing catch up, so I was still in rights mode at the start of the mediation and desparately looking for interests in the litigation when I struggled to my feet at the bar table at 10am the next morning.So, in another sign that our mediation...
