Josefina Rendón's Mediation Journey

As a lawyer, mediator and judge, Josefina Rendon has experienced mediation from just about every angle.  Her first experience with mediation was many years ago as a judge when, at the request of one of the attorneys, she referred a case in her court’s docket to mediation.  When the parties came back to court, they had reached a creative, custom-made agreement that both sides were satisfied with and that resolved, not only their legal dispute, but their personal issues. Rendon realized that, with the help of a mediator, mediation offered the parties better opportunities for satisfactory resolution that would not have been possible had they continued with a trial.  From then on, she referred many cases to mediation with great results and, soon enough, decided to become a mediator herself. ​
