Mediated Negotiations will be hosting a mediation training program with Tony Piazza in San Francisco on Saturday, April 15, 2017, beginning at 9:30 am.
This one-day training program is open to Seattle U students and will provide the opportunity for individuals to learn what a real mediation process looks like in the context of complex commercial litigation.
Students will engage in an intensive one day experiential training in negotiation and mediation. Participants are provided with the opportunity to apply, analyze, and evaluate in a supervised setting the results of applying mediation processes to actual cases that have been mediated.
Participants will develop and refine mediation techniques and skills through participation and observation of exercises and case studies and can witness first-hand how to transform the process from dialectic to dialogue. If you'll be in the Bay Area on April 15 and are interested in the training, please contact Stephanie Chow for additional information.

Carl Maxey: A Fighting Life
Carl Maxey: A Fighting Life
Film Screening, Thursday, February 9
Noon to 1:00 pm in Room 110
Celebrate Black History Month with Washington State Association for Justice (WSAJ) by attending a lunch hour movie, Carl Maxey: A Fighting Life. Opening remarks will be made by Hardeep Rekhi, Chair of the WSAJ Diversity Committee. Carl Maxey rose from a tragic childhood to make his own opportunities. He found his calling in law, becoming the first black lawyer in Eastern Washington to pass the bar exam. Maxey displayed his judicial prowess representing high profile white defendants, as well as championing black clients, often pro bono, and using litigation to dismantle systemic oppression in the Northwest. Often, Maxey’s mere threat of a lawsuit was enough to convince bars, restaurants, and clubs to desegregate. Pizza and soda will be provided. Please RSVP in Symplicity.
