Mediator’s Inner Strength: Developing Emotional Intelligence

1

The inner strength of a mediator thrives on the wheel of emotional intelligence. An emotionally intelligent mediator is solution driven, proactive and pragmatic. If a mediator is unaware of the effect that his/her behavior, thoughts, or beliefs can have on parties, the result can be detrimental, dis-empowering and frustrating.

To successfully manage a mediation process, developing emotional intelligence is a skill that is superior to knowledge and being a skill, it has to be acquired in order to make a success of the mediation profession.

This training will expose participants to the rudiments of emotional intelligence and how to apply it for effective mediation practice. As a mediator it is not enough for you to be effective but you need to be efficient as well. You need the tool of emotional intelligence to anchor effectiveness and efficiency in mediation. This will predispose you to the management of time and human psychology.

Course fee: N15,000 – Members (Fifteen Thousand Naira only)
N20,000 – Non-members (Twenty Thousand Naira Only)

The Training is scheduled to hold as follows:*
Date: September 21, 2021
Time: 9am – 12pm and 2pm – 5pm daily

Embrace ADR Now, Obegolu Tasks Nigerian Universities

0

Universities in Nigeria should deepen training of Lawyers and other stakeholders on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) as a way of fast-tracking justice dispensation in the country.

This was the submission of the Chairman, Governing Council of Nigeria Chambers of Commerce Dispute Resolution Centre (NCC-DRC), Chief Emeka Obegolu who lamented the dearth of ADR knowledge in current training programme of Lawyers in the country.

Obegolu who was speaking while receiving the Chairman, Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Nigeria (CIArb) Abuja Chapter, Hon. Shola Ephraim-Oluwanuga said the non-inclusion of arbitration programme in the training of Lawyers should be revisited as the country is in dire need of ADR to address challenges facing justice administration in Nigeria.

He specifically noted that the Nigerian Law School should particularly refocus attention on equipping Lawyers with ADR skills and knowledge as justice administration is in needs of practitioners with requisite understanding of ADR to speed up justice dispensation.

“If we are to reduce cost of justice administration, if we are to speed up justice dispensation, then legal training should put ADR in the front burner. Arbitration is cheaper, less stressful and saves lots of time. These are reasons why the Universities must embrace ADR without further delay.

“This is why we are partnering with some of the Universities on ADR to give them opportunity to learn more on ADR because most Law graduate of Nigeria think the fastest way to be successful is through litigation. They see litigation as a way out but across the world people have come to embrace ADR as a way of settling dispute.”

Chief Obegolu who is also the 1st Deputy President, Abuja Chamber for Commerce and Industry (ACCI) also added that the vision of the center is to sign Memorandum of Understanding with CIArb to move forward in this area adding that their request for their members to be nominated Arbitration secretaries is noted and will be considered.

“Thank you for commenting on our mentorship programme. We are committed to keep moving forward in this area.”

The Chairman CIArb, Hon. Shola who lauded the center’s recently launched mentorship programme for ADR said, the institute is aware of this giant stride in Arbitration hence, the need to seek partnership with the center.

“One thing we must say is, ADR is cheaper, faster and one can still make friends after every issue is settled unlike in litigation.”

One of the visiting team members, A.T. Kehinde (SAN) also lauded the mentorship programme while also urging for more publicity for people to key into.

NEGOTIATION TECHNIQUES AND STRATEGIES FOR OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT – (CPD Units: 5)

0

All over the world, Litigation is the most recognized form of dispute resolution. However, it is known to be formal and inflexible. Navigating cases from the court of first instance up to the Supreme Court can be exhausting. In some instances, cases are ordered back for retrial.

This greatly affects the willingness of parties to want to resolve their disputes using Litigation. Other factors that discourage disputing parties is that litigation takes financial, emotional and sometimes social toll on the parties which are eager to put an end to.

This training will bring to the fore, the benefits of resolving disputes out of court, identify common pitfalls in out of court settlement and provide participants with the requisite tools to resolve conflicts out of court.

Course fee: N15,000 – Members (Fifteen Thousand Naira only)
N20,000 – Non-members (Twenty Thousand Naira Only)

The Training is scheduled to hold as follows:
Date: August 31st, 2021
