MWI BMC & DISTRICT COURT MEDIATION PROGRAM  

TO:  Interested MWI Mediation Panel Applicants
FROM:  Josh Hoch, Director of Mediation Services

Thank you for your interest in mediating with Mediation Works Incorporated.  MWI's BMC & District Court Mediation Program provides volunteer opportunities to mediators who have successfully completed MWI's basic and/or advanced training programs.

MWI enjoys a high standing and excellent professional reputation in the mediation community.  Interested applicants should review and complete the requirements outlined below.

1.         Fill out and submit the application form below.

2.         Attend a “New Mediator Orientation Session”.  Please email me at jhoch@mwi.org or 617-973-9739 x23 for information and to RSVP.

3.         Adhere to MWI's BMC & District Court Guidelines

New mediators are required to observe a minimum of 2 mediations at court and to co-mediate 2 times with an experienced mediator before being applying to join MWI's BMC & District Court Mediation Panel.  Once on our panel, mediators are required to commit to mediate a minimum of twice a month for a period of one year.

Mediators are asked to mediate a minimum of 10 cases before they participate in MWI's Advanced Trainings. Mediators are also required to attend a minimum of one “MWI Round-Table” session each year.  MWI Roundtables are open discussion forums where MWI mediators meet for on-going training, discuss best practices and share lessons learned with mediation colleagues.

If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at 617-973-9739 x23 or send an email to <jhoch@mwi.org>.  Thank you.
