I was very fortunate to attend the Sacramento County Bar Association’s  “Power Imbalance and Ethics” luncheon at Judicate West last week, hosted by Dispute Resolution section chair Melissa Blair Aliotti. International expert mediator Daniel Yamshon presented a very informative and thought provoking session on mediators' duty, if any, to address any “power” imbalances (eg, economic, education, strategic, cultural, etc) that might exist between the parties.  Standard VI A. of The Model Standards of Conduct for Mediators requires mediators to facilitate, among other things, a safe, respectful, and fair mediation process.  As a result, the mediators’ responsibility to minimize any such imbalances would seem clear.  At the same time, though, Section II A. of those same Standards also holds that mediators must be impartial, ie “free from favoritism, bias or prejudice.”  So, the challenge becomes whether and how a mediator assesses any power imbalances while, at the same time, maintaining their impartiality. Or, as Yamshon effectively stated: I) Do mediators have an obligation to identify instances where an agreement, while achievable, can lead to injustice?    II) Do mediators have an obligation to seek to avoid injustice although they were invited to facilitate an agreement (as opposed to rendering a decision on the merits of an issue)? Yamshon illustrated many of the ethical considerations, but refrained from providing his answer to either question. In doing so, he deftly equipped the attendees to be mindful of the issues, but to come to their own conclusions about how best to maintain impartiality but also “hold in care” the parties to their processes. Timing is everything: I also just had the chance to watch Aaron Casteel, Executive Director of Placer Dispute Resolution, very capably address a potential imbalance of power.  Aaron astutely identified the potential issue, and took steps to neutralize the concern. Seeing his adroit practical application of Yamshon’s important concept was a terrific lesson!

RTGR attorney Tom Richard contributed to the California Lawyers Association’s updated guide, "When You Turn 18: A Legal Survival Guide." The age of majority marks the transition from being considered a child to being legally recognized as an adult. Historically set at 21, the age of majority was lowered to 18 following the 1971 ratification of the 26th Amendment, which granted 18-year-olds the right to vote in federal elections. In California, turning 18 means you're treated as an adult for most purposes. Check out the guide to navigate this important milestone and understand your new rights and responsibilities. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gwvXeuKc
