Court Mediation Program - Small Claims Practicum
Overview
The Small Claims Practicum of the Court Mediation Program (CMP) enables professionals from various fields to participate in mediation sessions for civil cases filed in designated Provincial Court Small Claims Registries in BC.
The practicum participants work together with supportive and highly skilled mediators in resolving small claims disputes. They also receive written feedback at the end of each session. The participants gradually assume the role of a co-mediator as the practicum progresses.
Participation in live mediation sessions, plus the guidance from different mentors enable the practicum mediators to develop and improve their communication, facilitation, negotiation and conflict resolution skills—giving them edge and confidence in their respective workplaces.
Written feedback provided for the later sessions may also be used by practicum mediators as equivalent to two letters of references required for admission to the Mediate BC Civil Roster.
