We are also receiving professional training online on how to use the virtual platform to maintain the confidentiality and privilege required in mediation. Our office is doing this in the spirit of Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Canady’s recent message noting that the work of Justice cannot grind to a halt, but it must be done in a way that protects the public health.
