Mediation: Approaches and Insights is a compilation of articles, taken from the past decade of Alternatives, that features cutting-edge techniques, trends and development of the law. This collection of think pieces, investigations, and practical guidance demonstrates the recent evolution of commercial mediation practice. The articles include analysis of the professionÂs changes, process design structures, and court cases. The volume provides the reader with basic skills; advanced techniques and tricks of the trade; examples of mediationÂs application to traditional and unconventional settings; advocacy in mediation practices; process and system design help, and legal developments. The articles, adapted and updated from the pages of Alternatives--which New York-based CPR has produced for corporate counsel and law firms since 1983--provide a comprehensive portrait of the state of current business mediation use, and project the practiceÂs future course.
