Susan M. Yates, June 14th, 2019

Dear Friend of RSI,

We have had a wonderful start to the summer here at RSI! From a trip to Toronto to new updates to AboutRSI.org, I am delighted to share some exciting updates and our latest resources with you!

RSI Receives Irwin Cantor Award

In May, Director of Research Jennifer Shack and I attended the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts’ 56th Annual Conference in Toronto, Canada. While there, RSI was awarded the AFCC’s Irwin Cantor Innovative Program Award. The Irwin Cantor Innovative Program Award was created to recognize innovation in court-connected or court-related programs. All of us at RSI thank the AFCC for this honor and for recognizing the work we are doing. We look forward to continuing to serve the court ADR community!

New to RSI’s Resource Center

Nicole Wilmet, March 26th, 2019

We are pleased to introduce two new program evaluation resources from RSI’s Director of Research Jennifer Shack to you!

Last month, Jen discussed findings from her recent evaluation of Ohio’s civil stalking pilot mediation program. This month, the final report on the evaluation is now available for download. This evaluation covers ten jurisdictions and examines mediation outcomes, agreement sustainability, agreement provisions, and the impact of referral to mediation on the probability of a full hearing being held. Additionally, the evaluation also looks at the experience of the program’s participants.

In November, we introduced Saving Homes, Building Understanding: An Evaluation of Eight Foreclosure Mediation Programs Funded by the Illinois Attorney General. In addition to access to the full evaluation and digital summary, we are pleased to introduce that individual circuit extracts from the study are now available for download. These circuit extracts summarize the study’s findings for Illinois’ 1st, 6th, 16th, 17th, 19th, 20th, and 21st judicial circuits.
