Hall's philosophy is based on a fundamental principle of mediation: the parties—not the mediator—control the ultimate resolution of their dispute.

Personal Injury Mediation
One of Jerry Hall's current areas of concentration is personal injury mediation.

Effective mediation gives plaintiffs, defendants, attorneys and insurers an opportunity to evaluate those issues in a confidential settlement environment.

Mediation Training and ADRMediator

The mediation processMediator ethicsNeutrality and impartialityNegotiation techniquesCommunication skillsIdentifying interests and positionsManaging difficult participantsCaucus techniquesSettlement developmentConflict analysisDrafting and documenting agreementsProfessional mediation practices
Students considering mediation training should always review the specific mediator qualifications, court requirements, certification rules and continuing-education requirements applicable in the state or jurisdiction where they intend to practice.

Jerry Hall's Approach to Mediation Successful mediation requires more than simply bringing opposing parties into the same room.
Jerry Hall's approach emphasizes: Preparation. Understanding the dispute, participants and obstacles to resolution before meaningful negotiations begin.Neutrality. A mediator facilitates the negotiation process rather than deciding which party should prevail.Communication. Many disputes become more difficult because meaningful communication has broken down.Reality testing. Parties should understand both the strengths and risks associated with continuing litigation.Problem solving. Settlement discussions should focus on possible solutions rather than simply repeating existing positions.Confidentiality. Mediation provides an environment in which participants can explore settlement possibilities without conducting a public trial.Party control. The ultimate decision whether to settle belongs to the participants.

Mediation can provide parties with:
Greater control over the outcomeConfidential discussionsFaster resolutionReduced litigation expensesFlexible settlement possibilitiesDirect participation in negotiationsAn opportunity to preserve important business or professional relationshipsThe objective is not to pressure participants into an agreement.The objective is to create the conditions in which a voluntary and informed resolution becomes possible.Frequently Asked Questions About Jerry Ray Hall Who is Jerry Ray Hall?
