Mental Health and ADR
2020-10-23 12:00 - 14:00 | Online Zoom Video
Panel Chairs: Fernanda Castro and Cherolyn Knapp
Mediation and Arbitration are at their core, person-focused work. Bringing together parties facing significant challenges can bring us face-to-face with individuals and groups under pressure who are feeling the full weight of conflict in need of resolution. Invariably, issues of stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and potentially more severe and persistent mental illness will arise in our work as ADR professionals.
Using scenarios drawn from real life examples, our panel of experts will engage in an engaging discussion about responding to and supporting those with mental illness within ADR processes. ADR professionals will gain increased insight and understanding and explore practical strategies at this thought-provoking session.

Med-Arb Foundational Workshop
2020-10-21 08:00 - 17:00 | 300 - 1275 West 6th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6H 1A6, Canada
Med-Arb is becoming an increasingly popular way to resolve disputes. It can be designed to resolve disputes most typically encountered efficiently, effectively and fairly in everyday personal and commercial matters including disputes involving both lower and higher monetary amounts and disputes where relationships are of lesser or greater importance. It can be used in family disputes, commercial disputes, partnership disputes, landlord and tenant disputes, condominium disputes, and many others.
When designed and conducted appropriately, integrated med-arb can be highly client-centric, fair, effective, and satisfying. On the other hand, if it is inappropriately designed or conducted, it can lead to confusion, frustration, and litigation.
This med-arb workshop, delivered by Colm Brannigan and Richard Moore, both highly experienced dispute resolution professionals, is an intensive three-day practical immersion in the knowledge and competencies required to run a fair, effective and efficient med-arb process.
Participants will explore where med-arb fits in to the overall conflict management continuum, how it compares to other dispute resolution processes such as mediation, arbitration, and litigation, and when its use is appropriate.
Participants will be given a solid theoretical understanding of med-arb and the practical skills and tools to confidently conduct efficient, effective, and fair med-arb hearings.
Topics covered include: an overview of the med-arb process, the benefits, and challenges of the process, standards of conduct and ethical issues related to the process, the negotiation and drafting of the med-arb agreement, developing a reflective practice, transitioning from mediation to arbitration, how arbitrators make decisions, award writing, and practical professional considerations for the med-arbitrator.
The workshop will take place in a positive and supportive learning environment using interactive adult teaching methods. All participants will be given opportunities to practice as a med-arbitrator at various stages throughout the med-arb process. Teaching methodologies include short lectures, case studies, demonstrations, small group discussions, interactive exercises, and role plays followed by constructive feedback.
Whether this is your first foray into the world of Med-Arb or you are well versed in it, you will be able to enhance your practice by taking this unique program which will fulfill the education requirements for the new ADRIC C.Med-Arb designation.
Who should take this workshop? The workshop will be of interest to practitioners with a wide variety of subject matter expertise including mediators, lawyers, arbitrators, tribunal members and those supporting them, internal conflict management program participants, and anyone wanting to seriously enhance their conflict management and med-arb knowledge and skills.
Format: This course will be presented online, through Zoom.
Required equipment: The program will be presented through in modules. Attendees need a computer, tablet or phone, an internet connection (wired recommended), a microphone and video camera to be seen or to participate by audio or video.

ODR – A Practical Program for Practitioners
2020-10-21 08:00 - 17:00 | 300 - 1275 West 6th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6H 1A6, Canada
ODR – A Practical Program for Practitioners

The ADR Institute of Canada (ADRIC) and The Canadian Collaborative for Engagement & Conflict Management (CECM) have united on a new, ambitious and practically-focused program in support of mediators and arbitrators offering services online. This program has been developed by Colm Brannigan and Marc Bhalla, who each have a Master of Laws from Osgoode Hall Law School in Dispute Resolution and focused their academic research on Online Dispute Resolution. Colm and Marc have been practicing ODR long before the COVID-19 pandemic and believe that there is a great deal more to addressing conflict remotely than getting a videoconferencing account.
This in-depth, interactive program will highlight what is unique about addressing conflict online. In its practical focus, attendees will be walked through online mediation and arbitration processes, from engagement to conflict closure. Unique challenges and opportunities will be discussed and creative ways to make use of various technologies to enhance the process demonstrated.
Whether this is your first foray into the world of ODR or you are well versed in it, you will be able to enhance your practice by taking this unique 10-hour program. The program will be presented through an introduction and 3 modules, over the dates below.
Instructors:
Colm Brannigan
LL.M (ADR), C.Med,
C.Arb, IMI Cert, FCIArb

Marc Bhalla
LL.M (DR), CCI (Hon’s),
C.Med, Q.Arb, MCIArb

Format: This course will be presented online via Zoom.
Required Equipment: Attendees need a computer, tablet or phone, an internet connection (wired recommended), a microphone and video camera if they wish to be seen or to participate by audio or video. Attendees do not have to present themselves visually or audibly to interact or otherwise participate in the course.
Who Should Take This Course? Mediators, arbitrators, lawyers and other legal representatives who are either involved in online dispute resolution or are considering becoming involved and would like to learn more about it than a one-platform-fits-all approach. While ODR shares similarities with in-person processes, there are significant differences that practitioners need to be aware of.

Mediating Real Estate Conflicts
2020-08-14 12:00 - 14:00 | Online Zoom Video
Yeda Hong – Panel Chair
August 14th
Turning to the courts to resolve disputes seems to be an almost instinctive reaction these days. However, the sobering reality is that lawsuits can be financially and emotionally draining for the participants, and can even impact our economy in the long-run.
Real estate conflicts that are suitable for mediation range from construction disputes to landlord and tenant disagreements. Apart from costs issues, the pressing factor of time also makes mediation an appropriate venue for resolving real estate disputes. In this webinar, the panelists will share their mediation experience in the real estate practice and how real estate disputes can be resolved through mediation without going to court.

Elder Mediation
2020-07-17 12:00 - 13:30 | Online Zoom Video
Chuck Wills – Panel Chair
July 17th
This expert panel will lead a review in the area’s best practices and techniques including critical practice, legal, policy and ethical considerations and the importance of care, capacity, family dynamics, abuse awareness and financial issues. Ultimately, a determination of the appropriateness of mediation has to be made.
This panel will cover topics equally relevant and important to mediators and legal professionals who deal with older adults and their families and need to be equipped to handle their sensitive emotional and physical needs. As an example, realtors will need to be knowledgeable and wary of these topics when dealing with reverse mortgages, powers of attorney for property, and critical issues when selling a family home, which can render their elderly clients vulnerable to abuse.
