The whole world watched!

    Law Day 2024 a Success!

    Global classrooms, in person mock mediations in Spanish and English, and more!

    May 1, 2024 - Teen Mediation International was privileged to co-sponsor Law Day in Austin, Texas, over the last 2 days, including mock mediations in Spanish and English, the honor of meeting Pavel Shidlovsky, Charge d'Affaires, a.i. of Belarus in the U.S., online global classroom training, mock court of justice, a mock arbitration and more! These amazing students, many of whom have already earned their 40-hour mediation certificate, received expert coaching from Kathleen Ruane Leedy of LA/El Paso, Jesse DeGraftenreed III MLS, MAOL, MA, of Waynesville, Missouri, Gigi Gutierrez, of Miami, Katy Harris, of the UK, and Alex Gelling of the Isle of Man, who traveled to support Michael Cunningham in his epic event with the World Affairs Council of Austin, Project Parent Liaison, Texas Youth and Government and more!

    Congratulations, Michael Cunningham! You are truly creating Citizen Diplomats and Mediators. We honor your vision and hard work.

    The benefits of Law Day 2024 in Austin, TX!

    Law Day 2024 advances students in the understanding of democracy, voting, civil discourse, intercultural awareness, mediation, international court of justice, and more! They'll also practice how to weigh legal issues as a juror.
