Mediation Advocacy
The true function of a lawyer (is) to unite the parties riven asunder.
M. K. Gandhi
The Program
This course on Mediation Advocacy is created for lawyers who would like to broaden their practice by building skills to represent clients in a mediation effectively. Advocating in mediation requires a distinct approach from courtroom litigation, and today’s attorneys must be equipped with the strategies to succeed in this environment.
Using your legal profession as a foundation, this program helps you cultivate new skills that enhance your practice and offer greater value to your clients. It reframes what success means in the mediation context, providing actionable insights on advocating for your client’s best interests. While legal practices differ across borders, this course focuses on honing mediation advocacy specifically for Indian lawyers, regardless of their specialty
