Getting Started as a Mediator: The Seven Steps to Starting and Building a Successful Meidation Practice

by Clay Phillips, Veltman Deane (Editor)

Overview

Mediation has been in the top 50 new and emerging careers in the US since 2012. More judges across the country recognize the benefits of mediation to their dockets and the litigants by drastically reducing the time, stress and money involved in a traditional lawsuit. This alone has spiked the need for mediators, and there just aren't enough attorneys in the legal field to accommodate. Now non-attorney mediators are more popular than ever but there's just one problem... no one is teaching new mediators how to enter the profession with any margin of success. That is, until now... until I wrote this book.
