What is high quality mediation – are mediator, lawyer and disputant perceptions different? What does make a difference? How can we improve what we do and what strategies can mediators use? The experiences of mediators, disputants and lawyers in Court connected programs, industry programs and community-based programs will be compared to discuss mediation interventions (or lack of intervention).Send comments, ideas and material for future LEADR South Australian Events>>
