On September 25, 2025, WBAI, JAMS and ADR co-hosted an in-person CLE, Strategic Advocacy in Mediation: Insights from the Mediator’s Chair at Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP. The program featured a distinguished panel of women judges who shared their invaluable perspectives from the mediator’s chair, offering attendees practical strategies to strengthen their effectiveness and adaptability in mediation.
Following the CLE, guests enjoyed appetizers and refreshments during a lively networking reception, providing an opportunity to continue the conversation and build connections within the legal community.
WBAI extends sincere thanks to our generous sponsors, JAMS and ADR Systems, whose support made this program possible and contributed to the welcoming atmosphere of the evening.
We are deeply grateful to our panelists, sponsors, and members for making this event a success. Stay tuned for more WBAI programs designed to foster learning, connection, and growth.
