Rekha Rangachari interviews Mediator & Founder of Peacemaker, Brian K. Epps
In this episode, Brian drills down on the benefits, and misunderstandings, surrounding risk analysis as a critical tool for attorneys and mediators. Peacemaker offers a solution to the “math is hard” axiom, mapping litigant responses to simple questions — ultimately displayed in a simple table rather than a confusing decision tree matrix. Brian demonstrates through case examples how to incorporate risk analysis into mediation, to find a pathway between gut instinct-approximations and sound approaches to valuation.

In this second episode of a multi-part series, Alex Green IV has a conversation with Catherine Connor and Katherine Miller, who are both experienced mediation trainers with the Center for Understanding in Conflict, about the mechanics and the philosophy of the Center’s different approach to and style of mediation.
We hope that our listeners can understand the uniqueness and maybe even consider the potential utility of the Center’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) model such that the Center’s mediation strategies and techniques may be useful to adopt and explore in other, more “traditional” mediation settings.
