Edwards Mediation Academy, based in Tiburon, California, operates in the Alternative Dispute Resolution sector as an online mediation education provider. The organization was co-founded by Bruce Edwards, a veteran ADR practitioner with leadership tenure at JAMS and involvement in Bates Edwards Group and Endispute, and it highlights practitioners with extensive field experience. The faculty collectively accounts for more than 400 years of front-line mediation experience. Its courses are online and self-paced, structured around full mediations to simulate the experience of shadowing a mediator, with each module featuring commentary from multiple leading practitioners to show different styles and decision-making under pressure. EMA serves professionals across career stages—from lawyers and judges starting mediation work to HR and business professionals building conflict-resolution capacity, as well as practicing mediators, government, nonprofit, and community leaders—and offers courses in multiple languages, plus live webinars and Q&A on topics like mediation, neurobiology, communication, and negotiation. In November 2018, EMA launched an online course, Developing Your Career in Mediation.
