TV Show About A Mediator
This story has been floating around the ADR community for a little while now but I cam across this via the NYC-DR Listserv:
Is Sarah Shahi the 'new' face of mediation?
From the HollywoodReporter.com:
The following may be of interest to some on this listserv.
"Kate" centers on ... a top litigator who, frustrated with the bureaucracy and injustice she witnesses in legal system, decides to become the ultimate anti-lawyer: a mediator.
USA president...said that the network ...liked the different approach to a legal drama with a mediator.
... "With traditional lawyers, it's always one wins, one loses; in mediation, the goal is to have win-win."

Hi Jeff,
That show sounds interesting. I wonder who is consulting on the mediation stuff? Any idea on when it will come out?

If I recall correctly, it should air later this Spring/early Summer.
No idea on who was consulted. What I find interesting, and amusing, I have heard mediators saying they hope it doesn't show the 'wrong kind of mediation' and they wonder 'what style of mediation will be used"!
It's just TV!
