Fall 2026 Academy: September 29 – 30, 2026 Hyatt Centric The Woodlands | The Woodlands, Texas
Master the Process. Influence the Outcome.
Successful mediation requires more than persuasive arguments. It demands preparation, sound judgment, strategic thinking, and the ability to navigate each stage with purpose.
This fall, the Lanier Mediation Advocacy Academy returns with an immersive learning experience led by Randy Lowry and John Lowry, with the support of Mark Lanier. Designed for experienced trial lawyers, the program explores the strategic decisions that shape successful outcomes.
The Five Stages of Mediation
Built around Randy Lowry ' s Five Stages of Mediation, the program explores the strategic decisions that shape successful mediations.
Through faculty instruction, collaborative discussions, real case studies, and highly interactive exercises, participants gain practical strategies they can immediately apply to achieve better outcomes for their clients.
A New Setting for 2026
For the first time, the program will be held at the Hyatt Centric The Woodlands, providing an ideal setting for meaningful learning, professional collaboration, and conversations that continue well beyond the classroom.
