Invaluable and inspiring information on how to make money as a mediator in the major areas of practice -- including labor and employment mediation, intellectual property, environment, personal injury, family and divorce, contract, securities, international peace-keeping, and other top areas in the profession. The author, himself a highly regarded top-level mediator based in Los Angeles, has recruited 15 top mediators to tell how they reached the point where they are making good money in their profession, with specific highly formatted information on their general education, how they decided to be mediators, how they got into this specific area of mediation, specialized training, intern and apprenticeships, getting started in a larger firm or on their own, marketing themselves (networking, print and broadcast promotion, writing articles and books, speaking, conferences, etc.) , experiences in learning the business aspect of mediation, financial successes and failures, where they are now, and what advice they have overall for someone just entering the field. Among the contributors will be a broad range of lawyers and non-lawyers who live across the entire USA, England, Canada and New Zealand, and who mediate in a diverse variety of areas, including Nina Meierding, former president of SPIDR and does family mediation, Chris Moore and Bill Ury, both very major players in international peacekeeping mediation, Robert Creo from Pittsburgh, a labor mediator, Geoff Sharp in New Zealand, Rodney Max, who mediates complex litigation in Alabama, Michael Landrum of Minnesota, John Van Winkle, past chair of the ABA/Dispute Resolution Section, and others. In each case these very successful mediators will tell how they did, and offer specific guidelines for readers who might want to follow their particular path. Very little if any of this kind of information is around, in a field where many new students and graduates are coming into the profession seeking guidance on making a living.
