Have you read about Nick White's research on remote mediation and disability? White, of the Maryland Judiciary's Mediation and Conflict Resolution Office, used simulated remote mediations to study how remote mediations might improve access to justice for people with disabilities.

The RSI team has found the research helpful in assessing our own eviction mediation program. Read RSI Research Associate Jasmine Henry's article about it at https://blog.aboutrsi.org/2026/research/report-offers-useful-insight-on-remote-mediation-for-people-with-disabilities/
