12C-Confrontation De-Escalation Techniques for Heated Hearings
Description
Unlike judges in traditional courts, hearing officials don’t preside from elevated benches, don’t have bailiffs, and don’t have panic buttons to summon emergency help. In this session, a retired U.S. Marshal who specializes in adjudicator security and an experienced administrative adjudicator share practical tips for bringing down the level of emotion when hearings become heated, including modeling de-escalation techniques in a mock hearing setting.
