		<description><![CDATA[               One of the more memorable movie lines is from Forrest Gump (1994) when Gump comments “My momma always said, “Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna to get.” ”
            Mediations are like that, too; as a mediator, I never know what to expect. I say this because I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
            The January 2012 issue of the California Lawyer contains an article about tattoos in court. As the blurb intrigued me, I read the article, entitled “Tattoos as Evidence” by Ryan Lozar (pp 37-39) (Tattoos as Evidence ) in which the author discusses the existence of a tattoo on a criminal defendant as potentially biasing a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[            Although the general consensus among neutrals is that the parties to a dispute should attend the mediation in person, at the same time, I have successfully mediated disputes in which one or more or all involved have attended by telephone. Indeed, I have conducted several mediations solely via telephone with success: the cases settled.
            Yet, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[           What makes or breaks a successful mediation? Your mindset; that is, how you approach it. Like athletes before an event, one must “visualize” the process of mediation and its successful outcome. Create a mental (if not actual) checklist of the pertinent facts and issues and think about alternative ways to resolve each issue. Become [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[              First and foremost, I want to wish each of you a very healthy, happy, prosperous and peaceful New Year. To obtain that peace and a peaceful resolution to all of your disputes, may I suggest something different and oxymoronic: trust. That is right, &#8220;trust&#8221;. Why?  Because, a lot of disputes (and lawsuits) arise because the parties no [...]]]></description>
