Education

TVMA offers classes in implicit bias, subject matter updates from experts, and advanced mediation classes.

Implicit bias classes include the basic, two-hour introduction class as well as deep dives into specific aspects of implicit bias.

Our “What You Need to Know” classes prepare mediators for areas of law they do not normally practice, such as landlord/tenant, breach of contract, and personal injury. Taught by subject matter experts, these classes prepare mediators for future cases.

Advanced mediation classes include advanced negotiation topics, mastering the opening statement, preparing a brief, and the use of expert witnesses in mediation.

TVMA has aggregated research papers, articles, and relevant videos.

Also included are papers and research TVMA mediators and interns have developed.
