New Book on Mediation, Including IP Mediation

I am delighted to introduce a new book on mediation: Mediating Legal Disputes: Effective Techniques to Resolve Cases, Second Edition. Professor Dwight Golann is the overall author. I was honored to write the chapter on mediating intellectual property disputes.  

Here is the ABA description of the book:

 This book will  teach you how to work with difficult litigants and overcome the hidden barriers that frustrate settlements. You will learn to: 

• Mediate effectively between parties who refuse to talk with each other;

• Deal with insulting first offers, backward steps, and other adversarial tactics;

• Influence how parties assess their legal case;

• Add value and respond to hidden emotional obstacles;

• Apply specialized tactics to overcome impasses

65 linked video excerpts featuring leading mediators will take your understanding beyond the printed page, showing how to apply these techniques in actual cases.

The book is available at shopaba.org.
