The Agreement Writing presentation looks at the Document, the Parties’ Role in Writing the Document, and the Mediator’s Role in Writing the Document. We look at several examples of agreement writing in order to teach some of the dos and don’ts in good agreement writing. The danger of a poorly written agreement to an agency’s program can be extremely troubling. A bad agreement, or a poorly written one, can be worse than no agreement at all. AW teaches mediators how to consider potential loopholes, such as open-ended time-lines, and contingencies, as well as effective techniques for handling “trouble spots” like money and apologies. This presentation will teach mediators to learn and practice the “five question review” (who, what, when, where, and how), which will improve good agreement writing skills and increase program success.
