Also joining Assemblywoman Galef on the program was Joyce Mitchell, owner and mediator at Divorce, Family & Financial Mediation as well as a volunteer certified mediator at the Dispute Resolution Center.
Mitchell shared her knowledge of the mediation field, the different types of disputes she is asked to resolve, and her opinion on the question of when to use mediation and when to use litigation.
