Attorney Laurie McKowen speaks to the ADR Society

On Wed. April 20, W.V. attorney Laurie McKowen spoke to the ADR Society about arbitration. The focus of Ms. McKowen's talk was on the increased trend towards arbitration, as well as attorneys's reactions and attitudes towards this trend. Supported by empirical data gathered from a recent state survey, Ms. McKowen outlined some of the issues associated with arbitration (as opposed to litigation or mediation). Several students stayed after the talk to discuss the topic in more depth.

The WVU ADR Society thanks Ms. McKowen for coming out to talk to us as well as her ongoing support of the ADR Society's efforts in the Magistrate Court Mediation Program!

Career Services Mediation Presentation -- 4/12

All,

 

I am forwarding on this information from Jennifer Powell -- it looks like it will be an interesting talk :) 

 

Cecil Varney and Tonya Mounts will co-present on the topic of "Mediation" next Tuesday, April 12, at 12 noon at the WVU College of Law, in Room 162.

Mark your calendars to attend this presentation--the second in the Bridging the Gap series offered by the Young Lawyers Section of the WV State Bar.

Food will be served.

 

 

Brian.

Upcoming Speaker and Elections!

Don't forget that we are having a speaker and elections on 4/20/11.

On Wed April 20, we will host Laurie McKowen as our final speaker of the semester. Ms. McKowen is an alum of WVU law, an authority on WV malpractice law, and  is integrating ADR into her practice. She also spends time with us in Harrison county for Magistrate Court Mediations. Ms. McKowen will talk to us about arbitration. More details about her talk will follow. 

We will also hold elections for officers (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer)! Next year will be even better than this one, so make sure that you are going to be a part of it by running for an officer position, or taking on the most important job in the club, County Coordinator! There are four county coordinator positions available, and two have been spoken for . . . 

Thanks to our Harrison County Mediators!

Thank you to: Alicia Lauderman, Brittany Furr, Travis Sayre, Kate Charonko, Jaime Ritton, and Jeremy Cooper for jumping in and mediating in Harrison County on Thursday evening!
