About HMP

The Harvard Mediation Program (HMP) is a student-led organization at Harvard Law School with a dual mission: education and community service. We invite you to learn more about HMP’s training program for aspiring mediators and HMP’s services for parties seeking to resolve a dispute through mediation.

Upcoming Training

HMP’s next Basic Training for new mediators will be held in February 2021, with the bulk of the training occurring over two weekends, February 6-7 and 20-21, 2021.  Check back in early 2021 for updates.

People Are Saying…

“The ability to build resolution, hear people deeply and completely, experience empathy, and empower people to make their own decisions are essential strengths that I would be remiss to leave law school without exploring.
– HMP Student

 

“[M]ediation allowed me to find out what was really going on. We ironed a lot of things out. After hearing about the other party’s personal life, I understood her perspective; felt empathy for her; and feel able to co-exist as neighbors. I’m thankful for the mediation.”
