Resolute Mediator Faustin Pipal Joins Panel Presentation and Discussion on Mediator Techniques at the Center for Conflict Resolution in Chicago

Cross-Fertilization:  Learning From Mediators Who Do Different Stuff Than You Do.  On May 19, from 3:30 to 5:00, the Center for Conflict Resolution and the Association of Attorney Mediators will jointly present a program in which both the panel and audience will be made up of a broad mix of mediators from different areas to discuss how we deal with the key aspects of a mediation.   The following panel members will discuss how they approach such topics as opening statements, use of joint sessions, dealing with parties’ emotions, and evaluative versus facilitative techniques:

• Hon. Wayne Anderson: Retired judge, mediator with JAMS.
• Hon. Jeffrey Gilbert:  Magistrate, United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
• Faustin Pipal: Personal injury mediator with Resolute Systems.
• Lisa Fielding:  Mediator with the EEOC.
