Mediation Week 2023 Mixers

The American Bar Association recognizes the third week in October as Mediation Week to educate the public about mediation. During Mediation Week, the ABA encourages all to recognize the importance of the work of neutrals, advocates, and policy makers and celebrate the strides we have made in institutionalizing mediation as a dispute resolution process. October 15-21, 2023 is Mediation Week in Florida under a proclamation of the Supreme Court of Florida. Mediation has been used by Florida courts for more than 30 years. Online Dispute Resolution now serves as an official option following the pandemic through sessions conducted with readily available remote attendance technology. Florida's Dispute Resolution Center continues to require specific standards set by the Florida Supreme Court in the areas of county, family, circuit, dependency, and appellate mediation during these virtual sessions. Mediation week brings annual focus on our dispute resolution work and highlights how individuals, administrative agencies, and businesses can use mediation to develop efficient and customized solutions to conflicts. Next week there are several mixers around the state hosted by members of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of The Florida Bar. We enjoy camraderie and hope to see you there!
