At 11amCT/12pmET, join us for “Caucus or Joint Session?” an insightful and interactive workshop brought to us by Zena Zumeta.  Videos of a simulation of a small business dispute show comparative mediation techniques by Zena Zumeta, JD and Jonathan Muth, JD, both highly regarded mediators in Michigan. Zena Zumeta uses the facilitative style in mostly joint sessions; Jon Muth uses the evaluative style in mostly caucus sessions. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the pros and cons of caucus style and joint session style of mediation across the array of areas of mediation with Zena showing pieces of both videos.

We hope you can join us for this mentoring event!  Free to members, $20 for non-members.
