New Adventures and the Unexpected As we start to think of new adventures and the unexpected, 2022 is fast approaching upon us.

We are also now accepting registrations for the chapter’s 2022 Partnership Program, which the deadline for submissions is Friday, December 10, 2021.

The training resulted in an additional group of mediators ready to hear cases referred to the CAI-NJ ADR Program. Thank you to all who participated in the training and we look forward to extending the program to more members seeking to partake in this popular program.
