Mediators’ Institute Ireland (MII) – 17th Annual Conference

Nadja Alexander gave the keynote address at the 17th MMI Annual Conference on Mediation and the Art of Regulation: Making it REAL.

The regulation of mediation is a topic that has the potential to excite and enthuse each and every one of us. Never before in regulatory history have so many people like you and I been involved in shaping mediation regulatory policy. Whether we like it or not, we cannot not influence how mediation practice is regulated. We are living and breathing regulatory stakeholders.

So what can we do about it then? How can we use our position of ‘regulatory’ influence intelligently and have fun at the same time?

Audience members had the opportunity to design their own personal regulatory plan for mediation.

Typically we select jurisdictions with which we are familiar to do business with. Smits explains the research that backs this up. This is sometimes referred to as the status quo bias. It might be our own jurisdiction or it might be another internationally well-known jurisdiction that has been the standard home for applicable law in dispute resolution clauses for decades.
