Montclair, NJ, October 25, 2024 --(PR.com)-- The New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators (www.NJAPM.org) will hold its 31st Annual Conference on Friday, November 15, 2024, both in person at the Rutgers Labor Education Center in New Brunswick, NJ, and virtually. Registration and breakfast begin at 8:30 AM, and the program will run until 4:15 PM. All NJAPM members and the public are welcome to attend.

For over 30 years, NJAPM has brought high quality mediation programming and education to New Jersey residents, the judiciary and conflict resolution professionals. “NJAPM provides education and training to new mediators, advanced training to experienced mediators, and resources about mediation to the public and educational institutions throughout the state. Our mission is to help people resolve conflicts and disputes through mediation as the preferred method of conflict resolution, and to help relieve the backlog in New Jersey Courts,” Suzanne English, NJAPM President.

The program will feature two well-known attorneys, Dwight Golann who will discuss “Dealing with Loss in Mediation” and Eddie Nasser who will teach participants about seven ways to use AI in their mediation practices.

Given that AI is becoming more integrated into our lives, they will continue this discussion in the afternoon when a panel, led by Bob Lenrow, Esq., APM, will confront ethical issues with AI and Mediation.

The afternoon will feature two breakout sessions per specialty to address topics specific to both civil and divorce mediation:

The civil track includes a return to their featured speaker, when Dwight Golann will speak on “Insulting First Offers.” A second breakout discussion will feature the Right-to-Farm Mediation Program, presented by Agricultural Resource Specialist David Kimmel.

The second panel will be a demonstration of Facilitative and Evaluative Mediations. The panel, Gary Borger, Esq., Meghan Bradley, Esq., Hon. Marie Lihotz (Ret.), and Anthony Prinzo, CVA will demonstrate two types of mediation using the same set of facts.
