This program addresses issues impacting how we see ourselves, how we respond to others, how others respond to us and how we can attempt to handle all that goes on in our lives, while thriving in the dispute resolution practice area.

Gain insight into how understanding where others are in their lives impacts the ability to effectively negotiate. David Hoffman, D'Alermberte-Raven Award winner and Boston's 2020 "Lawyer of the Year" in Mediation, discusses the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, the relationships between our internal voices and how this model can be used to promote more constructive conflict resolution.

Learn how to look for a balance between our personal lives and work lives, and walk through how to identify your own biases and use that awareness to achieve better balance both professionally and personally.

And of course, no dispute resolution program would be complete without a rules and opinions update from the Dispute Resolution Commission.
