About Giuseppe Leone
Giuseppe has been a mediator since 1997. He is the founder and Project Manager of Virtual Mediation Lab – an online mediation project sponsored by ACR Hawaii to help mediators worldwide (1) practice their skills by participating in Free online mediation simulations of commercial, family and workplace cases; (2) learn how to mediate online and add online mediation to their practice.
After Virtual Mediation Lab was launched in 2011, it received national and international attention – for example, it was featured in the Summer 2013 issue on “Innovation and Conflict Resolution” of ACResolution, the quarterly magazine of the Association for Conflict Resolution.
In January 2014, Giuseppe broke new ground in the USPS REDRESS mediation program. For the first time since that program started in 1994, he mediated a workplace discrimination case “online” – with the parties in Guam and an EEO observer in California.
Thanks to his extensive online mediation experience, Giuseppe is now participating in “Online Peer Mediation Platform”, an innovative ACR Education Section 2-year pilot project funded by JAMS. It will enable children from ages 10-18 across the United States to:
- Learn about peer mediation online
- Practice their mediation skills online
- Deliver online peer mediation services
Giuseppe is a volunteer mediator for the Mediation Center of the Pacific
