Ethical Challenges Facing Online Mediations (for GA Neutrals)

Overview

This course explores some of the ethical challenges facing online mediation. Online mediation is an emerging method for conducting mediations. Unlike traditionally mediations were conducted face-to-face with all the parties convening in the same physical location, online mediation uses live real-time video technology to conduct the meeting. Modernly, people are becoming more accustomed to communicating using real-time video, and mediation participants are demanding alternative meeting methods. The popularity of Zoom, Skype, and Webex is testament to the fact that real-time video communication is here to stay. Conducting mediations online allows the mediator to; expand mediation services beyond their local community, serve a wider audience of people, overcome cultural barriers, increase public awareness of mediation, and include the millennial and younger members of our population. So join us in the journey and discover a whole new way of resolving disputes.
