SUMMARY:Mediation Bootcamp Series Part 2: Mock Mediation in Action
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nPart 2 of our Mediation Bootcamp Series will consist of a practical demonstration of mediation in action. Our panelists\, plaintiff’s counsel Bill Munoz\, defense counsel Courtney O’Brien\, and mediator Peter Linn will mediate this employment dispute and you the audience can decide: should they take the settlement or not? \nKari Jones\, a 38-year-old divorced mother of two\, worked as an account manager for MerchCo for four years\, receiving pay raises and merit bonuses for three of those years. During her fourth year\, her male supervisor\, Mike\, disciplined her for excessive absences\, placed her on a performance plan\, and denied her a raise or bonus. Kari alleges that Mike\, who has been with the company for ten years\, made unwelcome sexual advances\, which she ignored. She claims that after rejecting his advances\, Mike retaliated by using her absences as grounds for discipline. Although an independent investigation uncovered a suggestive email from Mike\, no further evidence supported her claims\, and the case was closed without action. Kari subsequently resigned and is now suing MerchCo and Mike for constructive termination\, hostile work environment\, sexual harassment\, and retaliation \nSpeakers:  \n\nPeter Linn\, Esq. – ADR Services\, Inc.  \nBill Munoz\, Esq. – Freeman Mathis & Gary LLP\nCourtney O’Brien –  Oakland City Attorney’s Office\n\nLocation:\nZoom Webinar\n \nCost:\n$0 – Complimentary Program \nHandout Materials

SUMMARY:Behind Closed Doors: Inside a Mock Mediation of a Landlord/Tenant Dispute
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nThe stage is set: The mediation is scheduled for October 22\, 2024 at 12 p.m. Join real life Mediator Debra Bogaards\, as she works with plaintiff’s counsel Jacqueline Ravenscroft and defense counsel Erin Poppler to present a mock mediation of this Landlord/Tenant dispute. The fact pattern will be fake\, but the negotiation and settlement strategies employed will be very real. From pre-mediation preparation\, to moving through negotiations and breaking a stalemate our panelists will demonstrate how a real-life mediation might play out. At the end\, you decide – should they take the deal? \nThe case: Carol and her daughter Jessica lived in an Oakland rental home for three years\, during which they reported various repair issues\, including health and safety concerns\, to their landlord.

Carol and Jessica are now seeking damages related to their tenancy. \nJoin us for this fast-paced mock mediation program\, not to be missed both for newer practitioners\, and seasoned attorneys looking for a peek into the private rooms in mediation. \nSpeakers:  \n\nDebra Bogaards\, Esq. – ADR Services\, Inc.\nJacqueline Ravenscroft\, Esq. – Tobener Ravenscroft\nErin Poppler\, Esq. – Edlin Gallagher Huie + Blum\n\nLocation:\nWebinar\n \nCost:\n$0 – Complimentary Program \nHandout Materials
