Summertime Blues?
Rained out
vacation or stay-cation? All work, no
play? Soggy garden or washed up golf
game? It seems that this year there are
plenty of reasons for the summertime blues.
With all
due respect to Eddie Cochran and Jerry Capehart, however, there is a cure for the summertime blues ... at
least if those blues are caused by a looming fall trial schedule, or even just
that one case that you know should be
settled (you know the one ... the one you think of at night when you can't
sleep ... wait ... that case is why you can't sleep!)
The cure? Mediation at Boston Dispute Resolution
Services.
Visit the
BDRS Web site to learn about mediation and the other services I offer that can help you find a cure
for your summertime blues. Except for the ones related to the weather ... |
"Litigation is the basic legal right
which guarantees every
corporation
its decade in court."

Practice Tips
The mediator's role
The mediator's role is to guide the process in a productive and efficient manner, and to facilitate communication among the parties. The mediator is not sitting as a judge, arbitrator, or evaluator. The parties themselves control whether and how the dispute is resolved. When the parties reach a resolution, the mediator will assist the parties in memorializing their agreement. |
