When standard ethical guidelines offer no clear path forward, mediators are often left navigating high-stakes dilemmas in real time.

Join Professors Robinson and Blondell for an interactive session examining these exact “outlier” scenarios—the complex, split-second decisions that challenge even seasoned practitioners.

Drawing on decades of collective experience as educators and mediators, they will guide participants through difficult ethical dilemmas before they arise at the bargaining table.

Through interactive polling, we will set norms, engage in collaborative debriefing, and practice structured peer supervision.

This workshop is designed to help practitioners refine analytical capabilities, sharpen instincts, and strengthen best practices.
