After enduring decades of TV shows about litigators, prosecutors, defenders and judges, we can look forward to viewing a new TV series that USA Network is poised to launch about a divorced lawyer turned mediator, according to this article in The Hollywood Reporter. It remains to be seen, however, whether the show will portray mediators fairly and accurately. The article quoted the creator of the show as declaring: “As a mediator, you lose a lot of constraints of the law; you’re a referee in a room with no rules.”
If nothing else, it should leave us with a new source of video teaching clips!
I just posted this on our Southern CA Mediators Network at http://www.LAMediators.ning.com
I am a Divorce Mediator and I can not wait to view this show!
