Attorneys, judges, case managers, paralegals, special masters, collaborative lawyers, mediators, arbitrators, and others who are involved in the courts resolve conflict every day.

Judicial dispute resolution processes are shifting from adversarial toward nonadversarial, particularly in family, juvenile, and municipal courts. As this transition continues, it is increasingly important that court personnel understand the dynamics of conflict and its collaborative resolution. Legal procedures alone are not enough.

Track 3 - Train-the-Professional - is the most appropriate registration option for most court personnel. Individuals who are primarily interested in comprehension rather than workplace applications may prefer to attend the first day only — see Track 2a.
