Froehlich and Schmitz Start Innovative Series, medAItion
Professors Bill Froehlich and Amy Schmitz are leading the conversation when it comes to AI in mediation.
The two recently co-created a new column and video series, medAItion, published in the American Arbitration Association (AAA)'s Mediation Magazine. It seeks to help mediators develop their own AI skills, showcase different technologies, provide insights around tools, and spark discussion over ethical implications. Each column includes conversations with leaders in dispute resolution and knowledgeable experts from across the nation.
Froehlich is the Langdon Fellow in Dispute Resolution and Director of the Divided Community Project at Ohio State. He teaches Moritz’s longstanding mediation clinic, where he supervises student mediators in several Columbus-area venues, and regularly trains mediators for the Supreme Court of Ohio.
Schmitz is the John Deaver Drinko-Baker & Hostetler Endowed Chair in Law and Director of JusticeTech at Ohio State. She is a Fellow of the National Center for Technology and Dispute Resolution, a member of the Education Committee and the AI Ambassadors Program for the AAA-ICDR, and serves on the Editorial Board for the International Arbitration peer-reviewed Journal.
