Practical, safe, and immediately applicable AI skills for Mediators, Arbitrators, and Adjudicators.
AI is no longer a future concept in dispute resolution. Whether you are facilitating a settlement or determining an outcome, practitioners are already using AI to digest heavy submissions, analyse chronologies, and draft clear, structured documents.
Yet many practitioners still feel unsure about how to use AI safely, ethically, and confidently while keeping their professional judgment at the center of the process.
Recent cohort feedback rated this course an average of 4.8 out of 5 stars, highlighting a consistent set of needs: support with document drafting, efficient preparation, summarising voluminous submissions, and reducing administrative load.
This workshop responds directly to what ADR professionals have told us they need: a practical, grounded, ethical introduction to AI tools that genuinely support the mediation, arbitration, and adjudication processes.
The aim is to help you work more efficiently, make better use of your time, and enhance the quality of your analysis and communication - without compromising neutrality, confidentiality, or your role as the human decision-maker or facilitator.
The course takes you through how AI can support each stage of the relevant ADR process, regardless of your discipline.
You will see how to use AI to structure and analyse information, create accurate timelines from scattered data, and prepare draft documentation - whether that be a Settlement Agreement, an Arbitration Award, or an Adjudicator’s Decision.
We explore how AI can help you:
Analyse & Summarise: Rapidly digest case papers, witness statements, and expert reports to identify key issues.
Drafting Support: Structure clear opening remarks, awards, and directions with speed and precision.
Process Strategy: Identify common ground, formulate questions for cross-examination or exploration, and support option generation.
A strong focus is placed on confidentiality, safe prompting practices, and how to use AI in a GDPR-conscious, secure, and responsible way.
You will leave with a set of workflows, prompt structures, and practical techniques that can be applied immediately in your own practice.
This programme is suitable for ADR professionals at all levels of experience - newly trained practitioners seeking a modern edge, and established Arbitrators, Adjudicators, and Mediators seeking to reduce their administrative burden.
No technical expertise is required. Everything is demonstrated through realistic, ADR-focused examples - from construction disputes to commercial claims - that show clear, practical application.
“An excellent course. Lawyers and mediators need to get hands-on with how AI affects our work and our clients.”
“The £20 intro was excellent and really helpful - the main course was practical, clear and immediately usable.”
“The trainers made AI accessible and relevant to every stage of mediation.”
“This has already saved me time in drafting and clarifying issues.”
