Background From 1978 to 1994, Joan Morrow was a litigation partner with the Rider Bennett firm in Minneapolis, where her practice focused on employment law and litigation and insurance coverage disputes. Her initial act of professional peacemaking came when she was asked in 1985 to chair the Minnesota State Bar Associations Task Force on Tort Reform, a committee composed of diametrically opposed plaintiffs and defense counsel. For forging consensus on difficult issues, Joan was awarded the Bar Associations Presidents Award for Professional Excellence. She was then appointed Chairman by the Minnesota Legislature of its Injury Compensation Study Commission. Her years of experience as a litigation lawyer showed Joan that mediation might be a superior means of resolving disputes. After mediating for four years as part of her litigation practice, Joan became a fulltime peacemaker in l994. Her skill at dealing with people with strongly held principles and heightened emotions, combined with her thorough preparation, have worked to make her a successful professional mediator.

Education/Training A 1971 graduate of Cornell University and l978 graduate cum laude of William Mitchell College of Law, Joan has completed both basic and advanced mediation training through the Center for Dispute Resolution in Boulder, Colorado, The Mediation Center in Minneapolis and U.S. Arbitration and Mediation.

Practicing in District of Columbia, Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia
