Mediation for New York Practitioners: Skills, Training, and Practice

In this episode of The Other Chair, we explore how legal professionals in New York can integrate mediation into their practice, the path to becoming a mediator in New York, including the required training and next steps for joining court rosters, and how mediation techniques—like looping and understanding the dynamic—can enhance client relationships, improve litigation strategies, and support negotiations with opposing counsel. Our guests, Antoinette Delruelle and Joy S. Rosenthal, Esq., bring years of experience as mediators and attorneys in New York. They’ll also share details about an upcoming opportunity to receive Part 146-approved mediation training through the Center for Understanding in Conflict’s 40-Hour Conflict Resolution and Matrimonial Mediation Training in June 2025, designed specifically for practitioners looking to deepen their skills and qualify for court rosters.
