The Covid-19 pandemic, beginning in March 2020, brought the
legal world and the dispute resolution process to a screeching halt. Social
distancing and meeting bans made it impossible to continue with in-person ADR.
The dispute resolution world scrambled to transition to online and virtual
mediums. Today, most ADR Professionals have mastered the basics of zoom and
online meetings. Beyond the basics, there are nuances and finer points of online
ADR worthy of being explored and allowing virtual ADR practices to be taken to
the next level. This one-hour seminar will examine advanced issues and explore
challenges facing today’s ADR professionals as the virtual world continues to
expand and evolve.
This presentation will explore:
• Effective online
communication skills and advanced dispute resolution strategies;
• The
changing online environment and its impact on the virtual ADR
process;
• Technology and visual aids designed to streamline the online
process;
• Creating rapport in an online
environment;
• Confidentiality and best practices for a secure ADR
environment;
• Zoom fatigue: How does one deal with
it?
• Ethical issues in online ADR;
• Dealing with diverse
individuals, cultures and implicit bias in online ADR;

mediation the wave of the
future?
