RESPECT MATTERS:


HOW PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS CAN IMPROVE CLIENT ENGAGEMENT AND PUBLIC TRUST






Kate Wurmfeld, Director of Family Court Programs

Center for Court innovation

 

This presentation will provide a framework for improving access to justice in mediation cases through a procedural fairness lens. The discussion will focus on the research underlying procedural fairness, contextualizing these concepts within the realities of mediation and providing practical tools for overcoming the challenges to delivering procedural justice to all clients.  This will be an interactive session, where participants will be asked to provide examples of procedural fairness from their own work.  They will also be asked to identify challenges to delivering procedural fairness and suggest unique strategic solutions, based on the information presented, to implement in their own practice and across the systems in which they work.
