This workshop will explore, with audience interaction, the real-life ethical dilemmas and practical quandaries that mediators often encounter as part of the mediation process. Some scenarios present multiple ethical issues, requiring the mediator to juggle standards of conduct that may seem at odds with one another. The goals include: providing an approach to the analysis of difficult situations, aiding in the recognition of ethical issues, balancing sometimes conflicting interests and standards, and fashioning solutions consistent with ethical standards.
