Judith Meyer

Judith Meyer is passionate about mediation. She brings high energy and total commitment to a process that requires quick grasp of the essential business and legal issues of a dispute, as well as quick comprehension of the shifting dynamics between the parties - lawyers and their clients. She parses and reframes complex issues. She moves the parties from positions to interests. She is especially adept in high-emotion cases. She makes a total commitment to the parties, their counsel to be their negotiation guide through from first referral to final resolution. She began her mediation practice in Southern California in the 1980's and brought her skills to Pennsylvania where she has been mediating for 30 years. Judith is a Distinguished Fellow in the International Academy of Mediators and is certified by the International Mediation Institute. She is highly respected by her peers and teaches negotiation and mediation at Cornell Law School.
