The Second Editions of our Best Selling Titles are now available! 


Our best-selling titles, BASIC SKILLS FOR THE NEW MEDIATOR and BASIC SKILLS FOR THE NEW ARBITRATOR are widely used for self-instruction and as training texts by private trainers and instructors on the undergraduate and graduate level. These books are a must for new practitioners! Experienced mediators and arbitrators will also find many useful suggestions for improving their skills. Written in question and answer format, they answer the one hundred questions most frequently asked by new mediators and arbitrators with clear, concise, and practical "hands-on" instructions.  Read the introductions and the hundred questions answered in both books below. Guidance is provided for the non-attorney arbitrator and mediator. Attorneys who represent clients in mediation and arbitration will also benefit from the insight into these processes that these books offer.
 

BASIC SKILLS FOR THE NEW MEDIATOR and BASIC SKILLS FOR THE NEW ARBITRATOR are used by trainers and educators as required and supplemental reading in seminars and university level courses in mediation, arbitration, conflict management, alternative dispute resolution, and related topics. 

 
Both books are authored by Allan H. Goodman, an experienced mediator and arbitrator; former adjunct professor of law at Georgetown University Law Center;  and Judge on the United States Civilian Board of Contract Appeals.

Easy to carry, read and follow. They are exactly what a new mediator/arbitrator needs to learn the ropes and what an experienced mediator/arbitrator needs as a refresher. The Construction Lawyer, Summer, 2002.

These books provide a valuable resource to read, keep, and consult on the questions that arise in the day-to-day life of an arbitrator and mediator. . . . They provide a no-nonsense resource which will be valuable to an arbitrator or mediator long after he or she is "new." Online Journal of Peace and Conflict Resolution, May 1999.

Basic Skills for the New Mediator is . . .  a methodical introduction for those entering mediation practice . . .  It is useful for most mediation practitioners, even those more removed from law and the legal process.  NIDR News Volume IV, April-May 199
