Lawyer Dispute Resolution Committee

Upcoming Seminar

The Lawyer Dispute Resolution Committee will be putting on a seminar that will prepare attorneys to join the program’s panels of neutrals and to serve as mediators and arbitrators.

The seminar curriculum assumes some familiarity with mediation and arbitration practice methods, and thus concentrates on pertinent background information, program rules and policies, and tips and techniques unique to the settling of lawyer-lawyer disputes.

Each Wisconsin attorney who completes the training will receive up to four hours CLE credit, including up to one hour ethics credit, and each attendee will be enrolled as an LDRP mediator or arbitrator, or both, at the election of the trained attorney.

For more information and registration, please download the attached pdf or contact Kris Wenzel at kwenzel@wisbar.org or 800-444-9404 x6185.
