Description

This group is a worldwide gathering of all who call themselves mediators, arbitrators and/or peacemakers, and who do this work, in any forum. Please join us, for dialogue, information, networking (both professional and social), and camaraderie. This group is intended to serve as an international listserve, allowing all of us who do this work to share information, discuss policy, ask questions, ask for help, seek out training and conferences, and share news and discussion.

Originally conceived of by the International Subcommittee of the State Bar of California's Standing Committee on ADR, this group does not have any affiliations with any single organization, including the State Bar of California. All mediators, arbitrators and peacemakers are welcome to join the conversation.

REPLYING: Because we all have too much email, please be sensitive in replying to messages. Be very certain whether you intend to direct your response directly to the sender individually, or to the entire listserve.

POSTING: We encourage uploading a photo, but please post only links to CVs and other information, rather than uploading
