Events & Training

The Association of Attorney-Mediators offers an array of CLE/CME professional development opportunities throughout the year, including:

    • Advanced Attorney-Mediator Training in the spring and fall (full-day training)
    • CLE seminars on timely industry topics

AAM does not offer basic mediation training, but you may reach out to the AAM National office for guidance on basic trainings that comply with AAM's membership requirements.  During the COVID-19 pandemic, AAM is allowing applicants to take a live online synchronous basic mediation training course that meets all other membership requirements.

    ---------------------------

    This virtual program focuses on communication as the cornerstone of effective mediation, with sessions on confidence and presence, insights from CLOs and GCs, practical communication strategies, neurodiversity in dispute resolution, and a live mock-mediation panel on ethics in action. Offering over six hours of CLE/CME credit (including ethics and bias) in many states, this training provides advanced skills and real-world tools to help mediators strengthen their practice and effectiveness. Through engaging and interactive presentations, attendees will gain valuable insights and tools to elevate their mediation skills, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle complex cases with confidence and ethical integrity.

    Can't make it to the live program on November 7th? We plan to record the seminar and offer all four sessions "on-demand" for post-event viewing.
