Reviews

"Marjorie Mantle's latest book will be an excellent acquisition both for lawyers with mediation experience and those new to mediation. This practical guide brings the subject to life. Her 'dialogues' and 'rants' are a funny and effective way of explaining what happens at mediation.'-- ""Rachel Grant, Partner, Brodies LLP Corporate Restructuring and Insolvency Department"""
