Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Carlos Muñiz issued a proclamation “to extend greetings and best wishes to all who are observing Mediation Week, October 16 through 22”

“The proclamation includes numerous references to the benefits and importance of mediation, and we’re exceptionally proud of this one: ‘WHEREAS, Florida has been a leader in recognizing and promoting mediation as an alternative to litigation,’” the Bar’s Alternative Dispute Resolution Section posted on its Facebook page.

The ABA recognizes the third week in October as Mediation Week to educate lawyers, dispute resolution professionals, students, and the public about mediation and related forms of collaborative problem-solving. During #MediationWeek, the ABA encourages everyone to recognize the importance of the work of neutrals, advocates, and policymakers.
