This two day seminar is an excellent introduction to the art of mediation, how the process works, and the role of the mediator. It is recommended for any working professional who wants to know this process to better advise his or her clients on it, or better take advantage of it as a participant.

This workshop also provides lawyers and notaries with the necessary accreditation required for them to conduct Small Claims Court mediations. This accreditation requires no years of experience, as opposed to Family mediation, thus enabling young lawyers and notaries to conduct mediation in the framework of the Justice Ministry program.

He mastered plea techniques and procedures in such diverse fields before becoming a mediator in 1999 and adopting the new culture of Participatory Justice, which he helped implement at the Québec Bar. Since 2004, he practices exclusively in conflict resolution as negotiator, mediator, collaborative lawyer, arbitrator, mediator/arbitrator, conflict resolution adviser, instructor, and lecturer.
