The Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the State Bar of Michigan and the Washtenaw County Bar Association will present "How to Help Your Clients Make Good Decisions Using Litigation Interest and Risk Assessment (LIRA) Techniques," featuring best-selling author John Lande. The program is set Wednesday, June 9, from noon to 1:30 p.m. via Zoom.
This program will help participants learn:
• Why parties and lawyers make bad decisions in litigation and mediation.
• How mediators can become "conflict diagnosticians."
• How to help parties combine the elements of the litigation interest and risk assessment structure and use it to develop effective mediation strategies.
• Specific procedures mediators can use including many suggested questions.
• Whether mediations should offer their assessments and, if so, how to do so appropriately.
• How to take advantage of these techniques in video environments.
Lande is the Isidor Loeb Professor Emeritus at the University of Missouri School of Law and former director of its LLM Program in Dispute Resolution. He earned his law degree from Hastings College of Law and Ph.D in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He began practicing law and mediation in California in 1980 and directed a child protection mediation clinic in the 1990s.
Attendees will receive a discount code to purchase Lande's book "Litigation Interest and Risk Assessment."
There is no admission charge.
