John Van Winkle is a convert from the cult of litigation to the religion of mediation. His writing is lucid, concise, sprightly and blessedly without footnotes. For the novice, his exposition will educate and train. For the veteran, it will recall, highlight, emphasize and solidify. For all of us, his vision of the lawyer’s role as the high priest of mediation inspire
-Jerome J. Shestack, Attorney, Wolf & Block, Past President of the American Bar Association.
This wonderful book condenses into 120 pages [142 with appendices] a message about our values and mission as a profession, an instructive history of the explosive expansion of mediation these past 20 years, and a very useful guide of techniques for use by practicing mediators, as well as suggestions on how to start a mediation practice. This book is a significant contribution to the literature of ADR, combining the discussion of values and principles with practical help for mediators, whether experienced or beginners.
-William G. Paul, Attorney, Crowe & Dunlevy, Past President of the American Bar Association
Every student contemplating a career in private practice should read this book. Even if students only gain an understanding of the pressures they will confront in private practice, the book will serve a very useful purpose. But there is much more to be mined. I urge you to read this book. You will not be disappointed.
