"Using Mediation to Settle Disputes" to air on Judicial Perspective

Using Mediation to Settle Disputes will be the topic of “Judicial Perspective,” a half-hour cable program presented by the Illinois Judges Association (IJA), airing on Chicago Access Network Television, Channel 21 in Chicago, on Saturday, March 13 at 11 a.m., and Monday, March 15, at 9 p.m. Appearing on the show to discuss mediation, increasingly being used as a tool to settle business and personal disputes outside of the courtroom, are three former Cook County judges who retired from the bench and now provide mediation services, including (from left) Karen Shields, James Henry, and Stephen A. Schiller.  Also pictured is Cook County Circuit Court Judge Jesse G. Reyes, a previous IJA president who serves as moderator. The Illinois Judges Association, formed in 1971, provides continuing legal support to members of the judiciary and education to the public on matters regarding the court system.
