I found the Divorce Mediation Course to be extremely educational. Jim Melamed's techniques are not only excellent for family mediation but are helpful in other types of mediation as well. I have utilized what I learned on a regular basis. His teaching style is engaging, thorough and well paced. The weekly sessions with other mediators who took the course helped to solidify and expand on Jim Melamed's methods. I highly recommend this course to all Mediators, regardless of your practice specialty. Thank you Temple!
