Keynote address by Karlina Paredes, presenting on the impact of diversity in family mediation
A more diverse group of attorneys and neutrals in family law is emerging to the forefront of the mediation field. Likewise, client diversity is increasing. It is paramount for mediators to accommodate these changing dynamics. In her keynote address, Karlina Paredes will shine a light on opportunities for mediators to develop ways to advance and to better serve a diverse group of clients.
She will highlight methods to embrace diversity, to understand participants’ cultural and gender-specific expectations before mediation commences, and to recognize and act upon implicit bias in family law matters.
