2010/2011 ANNUAL REPORT:

This Section held a Program Planning Retreat in August, as well as a seminar on proposed changes to Rule 17 governing mediation in the Circuit Courts of Maryland in November. Its Annual Dinner in April featured Stuart Eisenstadt, U.S. negotiator for Holocaust reparations, who discussed the use of ADR in repatriating art looted during the Holocaust, and presented the Chief Judge Bell Award for Outstanding Performance in the fi eld of ADR to the Hon. Melanie Vaughn. The Section also hosted a seminar on confi dentiality in mediation and how it may be changing in Maryland as well as a webinar on “Self-Determination in Mediation” in May, recording and posting the programs on the Section’s website as a resource to members unable to attend. It also reinstated its newsletter this year as an additional resource to members, and will co-host a presentation on the “Use of ADR in Complex Construction Disputes” as well as a presentation exploring the challenges and opportunities surrounding the issue of mediators drafting documents for parties to the mediation at the MSBA Annual Meeting.
