TRAINING

The Justice Center of Atlanta (JCA) is a nationally recognized provider of top quality practice and instruction in mediation and is one of the premier training organizations in the United States. The Justice Center of Atlanta is pleased to have been mentioned in the U.S. Government Accounting Office report of August 1997 as being “…recognized as one of the leading institutions in the United States for the practice and teaching of mediation.” (See Alternative Dispute Resolution:  Employer’s Experience with ADR in the Workplace.) JCA has led the field of training and practice in conflict resolution for over 30 years. 
                                                                                            


We present courses through a variety of methods including: lectures by experienced ADR professionals, video tapes, instructor demonstrations, student participation, group projects, written projects, homework assignments, practical skill exercises, student proficiency demonstrations, discussions, role-play scenarios and written evaluations. The teaching style practiced by JCA places an emphasis on “hands-on” skill development. Instructional materials and lectures comply with the American With Disabilities Act. Indicate your special need on the registration form.

Our class size is limited because we maintain a small student-to-teacher ratio and classes fill very rapidly.  Please register early so you are not disappointed.  After your training experience with The Justice Center of Atlanta, we believe that you will agree that our reputation as an elegant, professional environment in which to learn life skills and help people resolve their problems is well-earned and justified.  JCA has always been an innovator and leader in the field of ADR and we continue that legacy.


JCA strives to make your training experience here one of the most professionally rewarding possible. Our services include a self-contained training site that provides easy access to free parking, on-site provision of continental breakfast, a fresh-daily southern buffet lunch and snacks at no additional charge. We accommodate special dietary needs with notification through your registration form.

The State of Georgia is one of a very few states in which individuals completing the prescribed course work can make application for registration as a mediator.  JCA is an approved training provider for this registration training and has been since the inception of the Georgia Commission on Dispute Resolution’s training requirements in 1994.


Many federal employees stationed in agencies all over the country have completed Georgia's registration requirements, thereby enhancing their current skills and future marketability.  Each person completing the requirements is on the list of mediators approved by the Supreme Court of Georgia's administrative arm, the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution (GODR).  If you are interested in the specifics of registration as a neutral/mediator, we would refer you to the GODR website:
