Med-Arb Workshop
Presented online
Med-Arb is becoming an increasingly popular way to resolve disputes. It can be designed to resolve most disputes occurring in everyday personal and commercial matters efficiently, effectively and fairly. It can be used to resolve disputes involving both lower and higher monetary amounts and disputes where relationships are of lesser or greater importance, such as family disputes, commercial disputes, partnership disputes, landlord and tenant disputes, condominium disputes, and many others.
This med-arb workshop, delivered by Colm Brannigan and Richard Moore, both highly experienced dispute resolution professionals, is an intensive three-day practical immersion in the knowledge and competencies required to run a fair, effective and efficient med-arb process.
Topics covered include: an overview of the med-arb process, the benefits, and challenges of the process, standards of conduct and ethical issues related to the process, the negotiation and drafting of the med-arb agreement, developing a reflective practice, transitioning from mediation to arbitration, how arbitrators make decisions, award writing, and practical professional considerations for the med-arbitrator.
The workshop will take place in a positive and supportive learning environment using interactive adult teaching methods. All participants will be given opportunities to practice as a med-arbitrator at various stages throughout the med-arb process. Teaching methodologies include short lectures, case studies, demonstrations, small group discussions, interactive exercises, and role plays followed by constructive feedback.
This unique program will fulfill the education requirements for the ADRIC C.Med-Arb designation
