Mediation Week in Alabama

A good article highlighting the need for mediation awareness here in Alabama, along with a list of the activities the Birmingham Bar Association ADR Section and Cumberland Community Mediation Center are coordinating to promote "Mediation in

 the Mainstream," in conjunction with the American Bar Association's Mediation Week. The programs start today and continue through next week.

Not mentioned in the article, but also providing excellent service to our local community, are the Domestic Relations mediation programs being offered in the Jefferson and Shelby County courts. All of the programs discussed provide valuable opportunities for dispute resolution to occur so parties can avoid the costs (both financial and emotional) of a trial.
