Description
Effectively Steering the Ship: A Case Management Manual for Family Law Mediators Paula Michele Lawhon ISBN 9781639057269
Family law cases often involve complexities that are difficult to resolve within traditional adversarial systems. Litigation and conventional mediation can be inefficient, overly rigid, and sometimes leave clients dissatisfied. This book explores the limitations of these traditional dispute resolution methods and demonstrates how neutral case management can provide a more effective path from the outset of a case through finalization.
Designed as a practical how-to guide, it offers family law professionals step-by-step instructions for formalizing the role of the neutral mediator as a case manager. The book includes concrete tools for practice enhancement, such as case examples, suggested language, and sample templates that mediators can adapt to their own work.
By presenting a clear, structured model for case-managed mediation, this book supports a more collaborative, client-focused approach. It helps mediators become confident in their dual role as neutral facilitators and case managers, allowing them to guide clients, counsel, and other family law professionals more efficiently and effectively through both the mediation and court processes.
