One of the many lasting impacts the Pandemic has had on the legal profession is the backlog of the Courts. Some counties have even halted trials for an indefinite amount of time. If ever there was a time when people needed conflict resolution experts, it’s now. In this stressful time, you need a place where you can find more information, updated techniques, and useful tactics so that you can add those all-important tools to your practice and provide better ADR service. With that in mind, we are proud to bring you a day on “No Trials, No Stress.” This is a can’t miss program for all ADR practitioners!
