Expert Divorce Mediation Trainings in NJ and NY

We provide mediation and conflict resolution training and workshops for those looking to practice mediation themselves. There are 3 different trainings that we offer periodically.

Basic Interdisciplinary Collaborative Divorce Training

On Nov. 2, 3, and 6, NJICLE in cooperation with the New Jersey Council of Collaborative Practice Groups (NJCCPG) will present Basic Interdisciplinary Collaborative Divorce Training 2023.

Collaborative law is a voluntary, non-adversarial settlement process in which the parties, represented by attorneys pursuant to a Participation Agreement and with the assistance of other collaborative professionals (such as financial and mental health practitioners trained in collaborative law) engage in good faith, non-adversarial negotiations, to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of the dispute without court intervention. It applies to all types of family law disputes, including divorce, custody, parenting time, equitable distribution of assets, and premarital agreements, to name a few, as well as post-judgment or post-settlement disputes whether the underlying matter was litigated in court or resolved by Alternative Dispute Resolution methods, such as Collaborative Law, Mediation or Arbitration.

A 3-Day Training Program

– Thurs., Nov. 2 | 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. (Zoom Only)

– Fri., Nov. 3 | 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (In-Person Only – New Jersey Law Center, New Brunswick)

– Mon., Nov. 6 | 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (In-Person Only- New Jersey Law Center, New Brunswick)

Collaborative practice has grown exponentially throughout the state, especially after the passage of the Collaborative Law Act in 2014. This comprehensive interdisciplinary training will provide you with the background, practices, and skills needed to begin and expand your collaborative family law practice. New Jersey’s leading Collaborative Practitioners will provide participants with the necessary foundation to understand and practice collaborative family law, with a deeper understanding of the skills necessary to help couples (and their children) reach optimal and lasting solutions through the collaborative process. In addition to a thorough explanation of the collaborative process, we will examine the relevant ethical issues involved. This training will address the role of law and lawyers in mediation.

This training meets the requirements of all New Jersey State Collaborative Practice Groups as well as the standards of the International Association of Collaborative Professionals (IACP)
