Practical Law Presentations Mediation Researching Local Programs & Experts Begin by finding out what mediation services are available in your area to locate experts. In addition to court-related services, there may be community programs or private mediation centers listed in the yellow pages under "mediation services." Bar associations may give you names of mediation specialists or may have their own mediation program. The Martindale-Hubbell Dispute Resolution Directory lists mediators in every state. National dispute resolution organizations can also be found on the web. If your audience includes elementary or high school students, check to see if area schools have a peer mediation program. If not, you may wish to have a speaker who can teach students about mediation techniques and have them practice resolving their own disputes. >>Mediation Home >>Researching Local Programs & Experts >>Planning Your Program >>Choosing Mediation Over Litigation >>Tips for Preparing for Mediation >>Questions to Ask Yourself if You Are Considering Using Mediation >>Tips on Settling Parenting Issues >>Tips for Speakers >>National Dispute Resolution Organizations >>Additional Resources Reaching the Community Home | Practical Law Presentations Home
