More and more, alternative dispute resolution is providing an efficient methodology for reducing the costs of bankruptcy proceedings and bankruptcy litigation. It was not that long ago that bankruptcy lawyers inherently believed that they were capable of settling their own cases and did not need outside help. (The authors were among those people.)
ABI/St. John’s Bankruptcy Mediation Training will offer its fifth 40-hour training session this spring. In recognition of this grand achievement, we spoke with Elayne Greenberg, the program’s co-creator and facilitator. As a participant of the inaugural ABI/St. John’s mediation class of 2011, it was a pleasure to catch up with Elayne and learn how the program has grown since its inception.
