MEDIATOR’S DILEMMA: Co-mediation – Judith Rafferty

What happens when the real conflict isn’t just between the parties — but between the mediators themselves?

Join us for the next session of The Mediator’s Dilemma, where we dive into the ethical tightrope of co-mediation.

In this interactive, scenario-based event, you’ll step into the shoes of a co-mediator navigating complex dilemmas:

Who takes the lead when your styles clash?

What do you do when your co-mediator crosses a line?

How do you protect party safety while preserving professional relationships?

What happens when you don’t agree on confidentiality, influence, or even billing?

We’ll explore a realistic mediation scenario where ethical challenges emerge between the mediators — and you’ll have the chance to vote, debate, and reflect on what you would do at each turning point.
