We had three sessions. The program was sponsored by the Dispute Resolution Center of Washtenaw County, Eastern Michigan University and the University of Michigan. Kelly became involved with the center six years ago. She was an executive director of the center but then stepped aside to become the training director because she wanted to develop and expand the training program of the Center and manage the conference. Kelly s work as a litigation paralegal led her to mediation.
Mediation is amazing.
I have seen mediation work in almost every imaginable situation. It is a process that can be and has been adapted to many different situations. This year 35-40 students attended the conference. Among them was Orlando senior Kathleen Corlione. I ve had many situations in the workplace where the information like this would have been beneficial, she said.
