We see ads on t.v., jingles and segments on morning shows for Back to School preparedness usually about fashion, supplies, etc. But what about preparing kids, parents and teachers for managing the challenges, issues and potential conflict that can be encountered every day in school.

The Texas Conflict Coach blog talk radio show is hosting a…

Sometimes it is easy to have tunnel-vision when it comes to conflict resolution curriculum. Every student, professor, practitioner, etc. has very different concepts of how they want to focus their skills. For example, I am currently a law student; therefore, my ADR coursework has been geared toward supplementing my legal skills - improving interpersonal skills, negotiation techniques, communication, transparency, etc. However, many of my other classmates or professors have focus on improving…

I have a very broad question concerning post mediation.  If the court orders mediation in a small claims case, what typically happens if the mediation session is not successful and the case reverts to the courts?  I am asking for feedback and general comments based on this limited information.  What can be expected from the courts in cases such as these?
