In honor of Conflict Resolution Day, Mediation Week, and on behalf of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Society, I would like to recognize the contributions of all Magistrate Court coordinators and mediators for their commitment and hard work toward serving the citizens and courts of Preston, Marion, Harrison, and Monongalia Counties.

• ·      Dee Simmons (alumni)
• ·      Jaime Ritton (Mon coordinator)
• ·      Michael Nissim-Sabat

I’d also like to extend my thanks to last year’s President, Brian Corcoran, Esq., for his continued support. Additionally, thanks to those who have expressed interest and joined us to observe:

• ·      Pat Callahan

• ·      Terry Beeman

Our Treasurer, Tom Norton, figured up settlement statistics this past weekend. Our mediators have helped settle approximately 47% of the disputes we’ve heard in Magistrate Court since last February! This public service would not have been possible without you. Your support is a positive reflection on your commitment to professionalism, the Magistrate Courts, and for WVU College of Law. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Alicia Lauderman

President, WVU Alternative Dispute Resolution Society
