Our special guests this week, Blair Berk & Andrew Brettler, Founding Partners of Berk Brettler LLP, will Present on:
Mediations in Matters Involving Criminal Allegations
This presentation explores the evolving role of mediation in cases involving criminal allegations, focusing on the intersection of criminal law and alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Mediation, traditionally used in civil disputes, is increasingly being adapted to criminal matters as a tool for conflict resolution, rehabilitation, and restoration. The session will delve into:
The nature of mediation and its application in criminal cases.
Key legal and ethical considerations for mediating criminal allegations.
The benefits and challenges of mediation in comparison to the conventional criminal justice process.
Case studies and practical examples of successful criminal mediations, including restorative justice approaches.
The role of mediators, victims, accused parties, and legal professionals in facilitating productive outcomes.
Attendees will gain insights into the potential of mediation to serve as a complement to the judicial process, promoting healing, accountability, and mutual resolution, especially in less severe or non-violent criminal cases.
