Adaptability is a critical component of the work that retired U.S. magistrate judge Elizabeth D. Laporte is doing these days as a full-time private neutral.
"There's no one size fits all, and I try to tailor my approach to each case," Laporte said. "I think the important thing for myself as a mediator is to be flexible and pay very close attention to what's needed at any particular time."
