ONLINE MEDIATION & ARBITRATION TRAINING
Houston's Manouse Mediation & Arbitration Training is now offering their courses online. They offer 5 courses for Texas child welfare and family law professionals, all of which I've taken and highly recommend:
The Texas Mediation Toolkit consists of 60 family law and mediation Help Sheets by the 130+ attorneys. Download and share! It also includes a Sponsors & Partners section with additional, helpful information from the vendors who help make all three of our statewide, large-scale, CLE events all FREE. It features an interactive (clickable) table of contents and is the perfect compliment to the State Bar of Texas' Essential Lawyer's Tool Kit (which we highly recommend).
The Texas Modern Mediation Webinar had over 1,300 participants in January! It is free, online, on demand we've now decided to make the FREE course to pick up your entire year of CLE for FREE available all year.

MEDIATION FORM
Be sure to download our "Order of Referral to Mediation" with language that the party that doesn't show up or pay for mediation must pay for all mediation and the other party shall receive reasonable attorney fees for collection. Magically, participants who sign this order seems to not skip mediation as scheduled.
