Description

In this segment, our speakers explore the area of dispute resolution with a focus on mediation. Michael Aurit is a professional mediator and Professor Alyson M. Carrel is a legal educator working in the dispute resolution field. Dispute Resolution practitioners tend to enter the field late in their careers, as a 2nd or even 3rd career. However, there are a growing number of individuals who chose to pursue dispute resolution as their 1st career, straight out of law school or shortly thereafter. Professor Carrel created a video blog, www.adras1stcareer.blogspot.com, to highlight their stories and support others who are considering this unique career path.

A successful mediation.
