Guest Lecture Series – “Mediation Advocacy: The Ignored Middle Child?”
The Commonwealth Lawyers Association invites you to join us for a mediation guest lecture series for episode 5 takes place with Gregory Vijayendran SC, CLA Council member for Singapore and Panelist for the Singapore International Mediation Centre.
Opportunities abound these days to pursue a credentials and career as a mediator. As the “eldest child” in the room, mediators guide, facilitate, nurture and set the agenda and pace of mediation. Clients new to mediation or relatively inexperienced are the “youngest child” who often need handholding and careful navigation about the process and practice of mediation. But what of the advocates themselves? Are they the proverbial “ignored middle children”? The speaker will touch on culture, language, ethos, principles and best practices of mediation advocacy – a topic sometimes understated but mostly forgotten. He will contend that mediation advocacy plays a vital and overlooked role in mediation’s success
