Roadmap for Personal Injury Mediation

1 hour of CE for registered neutrals (GA) & 1 hour of CLE for Georgia attorneys

Session Information

n/a

Personal injury cases are often mediated but infrequently presented on at large continuing education events for mediators. During this session, former judge and personal injury mediation aficionado Jason Harper unveils a roadmap for navigating these seemingly elusive (but not really!) cases, utilizing audience experience to tailor the journey in-real-time.

In-person attendees can join Hon. Jason Harper for Roadmap for Personal Injury Mediation in Room A:

2:15pm to 3:15pm

This session will NOT be live-streamed to virtual attendees, but a recording will be made available to all for the month of December 2023.

Jason Harper served as Judge of the State Court of Henry County for ten years prior to becoming Georgia’s youngest senior judge at age 45.
