Basics of Mediation and Arbitration with Zoom

I am posting, with permission, an email from CPR’s Richard Murphy with information from a great webinar that Tom Valenti did for CPR about using zoom for mediation and arbitration. As time goes on, I’m sure there will be more programs about how to take advantage of video and other technological capabilities to enhance the quality of the interactions.

As you can see, it includes notes from the training as well as a link to Tom’s Dropbox.

All,

Thank you for attending the recent CPR webinar, ADR in the Time of COVID-19: How Neutrals and Advocates Can Use Zoom Professional for Mediations and Arbitrations presented by Thomas Valenti, member of CPR’s Panel of Distinguished Neutrals.
