Alysen Bayles launched her legal career with an early interest in dispute resolution. Then after several years as in-house counsel and a law firm litigator, she found a mediation mentor and increasingly used alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and mediation in her private practice.
Appreciative of how ADR gives both sides a voice, Alysen is now director of a federal court-connected ADR program where she oversees civil cases, serves as a mediator, and facilitates ADR training. Along the way, she used her time spent waiting for verdicts to write children’s books. Now a published author, Alysen uses her heartwarming animal tales to encourage young readers to learn, live, love, and read. Hear how this sticky lawyer followed her bliss to two satisfying careers.
