Making Mediation Meaningful: Best Practices in Consumer Law Cases

Event Description

Online Registration is now closed. To register, please email Section Manager Yajaira Lansiquot at ylansiquot@mnbars.org.

Remote Only Event

Mediating consumer cases and related types of disputes require consideration of certain attributes of such litigation.  A panel experienced in mediating consumer litigation (such as consumer fraud, deceptive practices, debtor/creditor litigation, and claims under federal and state consumer protection statutes) will walk through the stages of a mediation.  At each stage, the audience will get the perspective from each side and from the mediator. 

 Topics will include:
• Determining the best time for a mediation in the life cycle of the case;
• Selecting a mediator (what mediator qualities are most important to address the issues and participants in consumer cases), what styles work and don’t work;
• Pre-mediation submissions to the mediator and  other preparations for a successful mediation;
• Determining who should attend the session;
• Logistical and format issues;
• Best practices for mediators and attorneys;
• Negotiating strategies for both monetary and non-monetary components.
