| Mediation Approach: |
I almost always begin a mediation using a facilitative approach. I tend to remain in that mode until I think it would be more successful to switch to a directive approach. | |||||||
| Arbitration Approach: |
I treat arbitration as if it were a judical proceeding. However, when appropriate, I will allow offers of proof to expedite a proceeding, with consent of counsel. | |||||||
