Where can I get the mediation experience required for admission to the Civil Roster?
Many Civil Roster mediators have acquired their mediation experience through the Court Mediation Program. The Program provides an opportunity for trained but inexperienced mediators to practice mediation skills in a practicum environment. Participants in the program take part in 10 Small Claims Court mediations of approximately 2 hours each. Practicum mediations are scheduled in the Robson Square, Surrey, Victoria and Nanaimo registries. These mediations are supervised by mentors who assist the mediators to prepare for and conduct each mediation, and provide feedback following each mediation. Information about the Program can be obtained at: Phone: 1-877-656-1300 or 604-684-1300 Fax: 604-684-1306 E-mail: info@courtmediation.
