SEEKING “CLIENTS” FOR LAW FIRM MEDIATION TRAINING SEPTEMBER 29 – 30, 2016 (Thursday & Friday) Honorarium of $75 per day

By Career Development Office on September 16th, 2016

WHAT:

The law firm of Greenberg Traurig, LLP is conducting its annual in-house Mediation Training in Miami on Thursday and Friday, September 29 and 30. The training will take place in the offices of Greenberg Traurig, which are located at 333 S.E. 2nd Avenue, 44th Floor. We are in need of individuals (over the age of 18) to play the role of the “client” for a mock mediation on each day. Compensation for participation is a $75 American Express gift card.

“Clients” are expected to come to the training prepared – this will require reading through a short case file in advance, along with specific instructions as to what to do and how to conduct yourself in your role as the “client”. The case file lays out the facts of the dispute that is being mediated and provides you with specific information about how you are to conduct yourself as the “client” in the mediation. The written materials are less than 10 pages long, and will be provided two weeks in advance of this training.

WHEN:

Thursday, September 29 – YOU MUST BE PRESENT AT 333 S.E. 2nd Avenue, 44th Floor, NO LATER THAN 9:45 A.M.; YOU WILL BE FINISHED NO LATER THAN 3:00 P.M. A box lunch will be provided for you.

We recommend that you valet park at the JW Marriott Marquis hotel, connected to our building and we can provide a discounted parking rate of $23.00 for the day. There is also public parking and the metro nearby.
