In the face of enormous court backlogs and problems with access to justice, reformers from around the world have increasingly turned to mediation. This panel will offer a rare opportunity to learn first-hand about new mediation developments in Asia and Africa from select 2022 Weinstein JAMS International Fellows who are working in these regions.
The Fellows will share the successes and challenges they have faced promoting public and private mediation initiatives and convincing skeptics to embrace mediation, as well as their visions for how to promote the development of mediation in their home countries.
Please join us in welcoming the 2022 Fellows to the Bay Area, reception with light refreshments to follow during the second hour of the program, RSVP below.
Date: Wednesday, October 19, 2022 (RSVP by October 14th for in-person; by 3pm October 19 for Zoom)
