Taking combat out of conflict with Anne-Marie Rice

If there’s anyone who knows about how to take the combat out of legal conflict, it’s Anne-Marie Rice. She’s now a Senior Judicial Registrar of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and before that she was a Director of Rice Dispute Resolution and the principal mediator at Rice Mediations. She’s been practicing in Family Law for 20 years, is an accredited specialist in family law and a nationally accredited mediator and a registered FDRP and Arbitrator. In 2018, Anne-Marie won the WLAQ Leneen Ford AC Woman Lawyer of the Year and has otherwise been involved in QLS Committees and Family Law Practitioners Association of Qld.  For more than 10 years she has practiced and taught practitioners in mediation, arbitration and collaborative practice. In other words, she promotes a “positive approach” to problem solving and invites others to embrace the idea that “conflict can be resolved without combat”. On this episode, we unpack what it means to take a positive approach to problem solving and the benefits of taking the combat out of conflict.
