About the Program

Join LASC leadership for an overview of the Resolve Law LA online mandatory settlement conference program, followed by a practical training designed to build Settlement Officer skills. This program will cover key techniques including active listening, managing joint vs. separate caucuses, handling difficult parties, using brackets effectively, overcoming impasse, and crafting mediator’s compromises. Learn how to develop meaningful dispute resolution experience while providing vital service to the Los Angeles legal community.

Attorney members of ASCDC, BHBA, CAALA, CELA, LA-ABOTA and LACBA with at least 10 years litigation experience serve as the program’s volunteer Settlement Officers. Each MSC will be staffed by one Plaintiff Settlement Officer and one Defense Settlement Officer. The Settlement Officers perform conflict checks for the cases to which they are assigned and must confirm that they have no conflicts before proceeding on the case. Virtual MSCs are held via Zoom, are 3-hours long, and are conducted at 9:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Monday-Friday each week.
