D10 – The Nuts & Bolts of Appeals for Mediators – Wendy S. Loquasto (2.1 CME Credits Appellate)
Price range: $15.00 through $18.00Although it may seem counterintuitive to mediate an appeal because the trial court has already determined the winner and loser, appelate mediation offers the parties another chance to control their own legal destinies and reach a mutually agreeable result, perhaps in the form of a global settlement. To succeed in appellate mediation, it is imperative for the parties to understand their realistic chances of success in the appeal. This presentation will provide an understanding of the nuts and bolts of the appellate process, including the explanations of the loimied scope of appellate review and the standards of review for the different kinds of issues raised in appeals, which will aid the mediator to empower the parties to resolve the issues.

presentation will shed some light on the role and responsibilities of parent coordinators as they
pertain to working with parents who are struggling to co-parent and follow their parenting plan.
Most parents who are referred to work with a parent coordinator are usually in “high conflict”
and present for PC work after months or years of battling with an ex-spouse or partner. During
this presentation, we will address and problem-solve the common challenges and obstacles
that parent coordinators face in helping parents work through their conflict and learn to
effectively co-parent.
