- Title
Establishing Ethical Standards for Online Family Mediation.
- Authors
Melamed, James C.
- Abstract
Leading national family mediation organizations have abided by generally common standards for family mediation for over two decades. Do these standards now need to be reconsidered and updated to address issues of online family mediation? If so, how do we best do this reconsideration and updating? In this article, Jim Melamed, Co‐Founder, General Counsel, and Chairman of the Board of Mediate.com (as well as the past Executive Director of the Academy of Family Mediators) discusses the new challenges facing family mediation practice as a result of new technologies and suggests changes in ethical standards. Practitioner's key points: Recommended text changes to existing Model Standards;Recommended new standards to make the Model Standards consistent with emerging online dispute resolution standards from the International Council for Online Dispute Resolution (ICODR.org); andRecommended new standards for optimizing the use of online communications in domestic relations mediation and following mediation.
