‘While a lot has been written about mediation, mediation advocacy has been neglected, until now. This book goes a long way to filling that gap. It provides practical advice about how to become an effective mediation advocate from the author’s own rich experience as mediator and party representative. While its focus is on advocacy in trust and estate disputes, it has far wider appeal and relevance for mediation in other legal fields as well. It is an indispensable guide for lawyers who would like to expand their practice into the mediation space.’

My next live Zoom webinar to be presented to members of the Standing Conference of Mediation Advocates worldwide in 2025 is entitled, ‘Mediation Advocacy & Ethics in Claims for the Return of Ancient Art.’ This is provisionally scheduled for the afternoon of Thursday 20 November 2025.

In July 2025 I am also planning to launch a YouTube Channel – ‘Art and Civilization.’ See www.artandcivilization.tv.

The title of my next book is, ‘Culture & Ethics in the Mediation of Claims for the Return of Ancient Art.’ This will be written as both a multi-disciplinary academic course textbook for Law Students, and as a handbook for Mediators and Mediation Advocates – globally. A leading publisher has contacted me to discuss publication, and I am planning to start work on this project in May. See the ‘Claims for the Return of Ancient Art’ page at www.carlislam.co.uk.
