Beatrice Blohorn-Brenneur ( http://www.beatricebrenneur.com/ )is Mediator for the Council of Europe. She has institutionalized mediation at the Grenoble Court of Appeals, where she mediated hundreds of cases. She is the President of the International Conference of Mediation for Justice (CIMJ), the European Association fo Judges for Mediation (GEMME), and the GEMME-France. Judge Brenneur has written extensively about mediation, and for many years provided mediation training to judges at the French National Judicial College.

 

Since 2009, Beatrice Blohorn-Brenneur has been a conventional and judicial mediator and mediation trainer. She has also been mediator at the Council of Europe since 2010.

She began her career as a lawyer while serving as assistant at the University of Aix-Marseille, before becoming a judge from 1975 to 2008.

 

She is considered the pioneer of the institutionalization of labor court mediation before the Court of Appeal. In her capacity as President of the Courts of Appeal of Grenoble, then Lyon, France, she developed a practice of mediation and “New Judicial Conciliation“, in the fields of work, family, co-ownership, neighborhood and commercial matters.

In a relatively short span of time, between 1996 and 2003, at the Court of Appeal of Grenoble, Beatrice Blohorn-Brenneur ordered 1,000 mediations with an agreement rate of 75 to 80%.

 

Based on this success, she left the profession of magistrate to become, since 2009, mediator and trainer in mediation. Since 2010 she has also been a mediator at the Council of Europe.

 

Beatrice Blohorn-Brenneur advocates the fundamental values of justice: listening, paying careful attention, fairness, respect and humanity. Her purpose is to pacify conflicts and to enable everyone to find appropriate solutions.

Marked by a great humanity, animated by the spirit of justice and her faith in the human being, Beatrice Blohorn-Brenneur tries to get people to overcome their conflicts so that, through mutual respect and by listening to the other, everyone can understand the other.

 

To succeed to impose mediation, one must change deep implanted habits, requiring chnaging mentalities. To achieve this, Beatrice Blohorn-Brenneur relied on associations of judges, lawyers and mediators she created. The movement started in France, but spread to Europe, and is now international. In 2003, she created the European Group of Magistrates for Mediation – GEMME – (Gemme.eu), then, in 2008, the association which brings together the members of the French section, GEMME-France and the International Conference of mediation for justice, CIMJ (cimj.com).

 

Beatrice Blohorn-Brenneur is the author of several books on conflict management and mediation including:

• Justice and mediation – Testimony of a Labor Judge, Publishing House Editions du Cherche Midi, 2006, (First prize at the International Literary Competition of Arts and Letters in France, Medal of the city of Colmar, France).

• Stress and Suffering at Work – testimony of a judge, Publishing House Ed Harmattan, 2010.

• From Disenchantment to Divorce – Judgment, Conciliation, Mediation, L'Harmattan, 2013.

• Mediation for all – Theory and practice of mediation – the legal framework of mediation, Publishing House Ed. Medias and Mediation, 2013 (translated into English, Romanian, Greek, Vietnamese and in the process of being translated in several other languages).

 

Beatrice Blohorn-Brenneur is also editor of collective works (see bibliography), created several films, and is the director of training sessions on communication techniques and mediation, in France and abroad.

The work of Beatrice Blohorn-Brenneur earned her the nomination as Officier de la Légion d’honneur / Officer of the Legion of Honor.

Doina Tetcu graduated in Physics from the University of Bucharest in 1971. For 38 years she worked as a researcher at the Atomic Physics Institute, Nuclear Reactors Institute and Research Institute for Materials Physics and Technology, Bucharest, Romania. Using nuclear methods, as the techniques of X-ray and neutron diffraction, she conducted solid state physics and crystallography research studying a wide range of materials, from those used in the aerospace industry to those used in the construction of nuclear reactors. She was involved in international projects concerning nuclear fusion reactors. With the use of infrared microscopy and X-ray topography she did studies of crystallographic lattice defects in semiconductors and semiconductor devices.

In the last 20 years Doina Tetcu has developed a strong interest in holistic medicine. She is a therapist in electro-acupuncture and polarized light, pain therapy, and is EFT internationally accredited. She is a qigong practitioner.
