Summary: | The ultimate goal of this resource is to benefit SC attorneys and mediators by providing a central reference source and practical tools to utilize in family law mediations in this state. Mediation is not only mandatory, it is a critical part of the family law process. That's why a publication addressing the nuts and bolts of family law mediation, providing an overview for attorneys representing clients during a family law mediation, and including tips on how best to prepare your mediator for a productive mediation was needed. Additionally, as there was no single reference source for the SC Family Court mediator, author Sean Keefer, provides ideas on starting and building a mediation practice, addresses the ins and outs of becoming a mediator, discusses issues and challenges that frequently arise in family court mediations, and provides strategies and methods for addressing and dealing with these issues. As a matter of convenience, the book can serve as a central reference point for forms and SC ADR rules applicable to mediation and the standards of conduct for mediators.
