UWLS Clinical Law Program Students complete mediation training through the law Schools Continuing LegalEducation Program and receive two quarters of intensive mediation instruction http://www.law.washington.edu/Clinics/Mediation.html
Extractions: "In a mediation, students shift from being an advocate or problem-solver for clients, to being problem-solvers with the parties. Through the Mediation Clinic, students learn to trust that individuals in conflict can often find the most satisfying and durable solutions themselves. I believe this translates to their work as lawyers by making them more empathetic listeners and creative problem-solvers. Julia Gold, Director The Mediation Clinic is unique among the clinics at the University of Washington School of Law in that students do not represent clients. They instead serve as neutral third parties to help individuals involved in a dispute negotiate a voluntary settlement of their case or conflict. Since 1991, the clinic has provided free and confidential mediation services to the general public as well as staff, students and faculty at the University of Washington. Students complete mediation training through the Law Schools Continuing Legal Education Program and receive two quarters of intensive mediation instruction and apprenticeship. They are supervised in their casework by a faculty member or professional mediator. Students hone their listening skills, negotiation skills, issue-spotting and creative problem-solving skills.

Family Law Advisor® - Family Mediation Services: How It Works Many attorneys and mental health professionals believe that the mandatory mediationlaw for custody and visitation disputes is the next most significant change http://www.divorcenet.com/ca/ca-art03.html
Extractions: Articles Family Mediation Services: How It Works No-fault divorce represents a major change in how family law processes divorce in America. More than twenty years ago, California led the way by becoming the first state to institute the no-fault divorce law. Many attorneys and mental health professionals believe that the mandatory mediation law for custody and visitation disputes is the next most significant change in family law in California. The reason for this is simple. It works. Mediation offers several advantages for families. None are more important than people usually being better off when they can determine for themselves what forms their lives will take. The era of someone else taking care of families is behind us. Also, people working out their own solutions helps taxpayers by not having to expend unnecessary resources to resolve family conflicts. Because of the large number of applicants wanting jobs as family mediators, hiring is selective. All of the mediators have advanced degrees in one of the mental health disciplines and most hold licenses in clinical social work or marriage, family and child counseling. In more than half of the cases, a written agreement results from mediation. There is usually considerable anger and conflict in the beginning of the mediation process, but the mediators work with the parties to focus on the children. With no-fault divorce, parties aren't able to tell their stories in the courtroom.People need the opportunity to express their feelings and usually they are expressed during mediation. By listening and reflecting the pain of the parties, mediators convey understanding and aid parents in working out agreements that are best for the children. Agreements are then placed in writing. After the agreements are signed by the judicial officer, they become court orders. Mediation, however, may be terminated in some cases such as those involving victims of domestic violence. If no agreement can be reached, no report is presented to the judicial officer.

Guidelines On Mediation And The Unauthorized Practice Of Law Virginia Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys (See Chapter I) prohibit mediatorsfrom giving legal advice or otherwise practicing law during mediation. http://www.courts.state.va.us/drs/upl/preface.html
Extractions: Table of Contents: It became apparent at the conclusion of the conference that a comprehensive set of guidelines that more clearly defined when mediation activities crossed the line and constituted the practice of law was needed. Thus, the purpose of the State Justice Institute project was to conduct a national research study on UPL as it relates to mediation and to develop instructive guidelines that would help mediators in Virginia understand the contours of legal practice and thus avoid practicing law when mediating disputes. The Guidelines on Mediation and UPL project officially got underway in August of 1998. Shortly thereafter a survey (Appendix A) was sent to approximately 180 bar associations and alternative dispute resolution offices in all 50 states. The purposes in conducting this survey were to explore how the various states have addressed the potential problems of UPL and mediation and to use the information generated by the survey in the creation of UPL Guidelines for Virginia mediators. The results of this survey are reported in Appendix B to this report. While the UPL/mediation survey was being formulated and mailed, an advisory committee was formed to provide direction to the Department of Dispute Resolution Services in the creation of the Guidelines. The committee was comprised of members of the Virginia State Bar, judges, lawyers, and mediators from throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. This committee met monthly throughout the Fall of 1998 and Spring of 1999. The members of the committee are listed below.
