  1. I believe it is the responsibility of lawyers and mediators to educate the community about the value of mediation rather than litigation.

    It is true that the communities understanding and knowledge of the mediation process could be better, therefore, it is my intention to invite industry groups and the general public to seminars/information sessions to further promote the features and cost benefits of mediation over litigation.

  2. Thank you Roger for posting. I absolutely agree it is a duty and responsibility to the public to educate them about the value of mediation. The best of luck to you in giving back to your community and educating them. Thank you for listening to the show.
