    Jeffrey Krivis, First Mediation, Los Angeles, California
    "In my twenty four years as a lawyer, I have seldom come across a person as outstanding as Josh. In essence, he has the rare ability to work comfortably at the intersection of idea and result. I am convinced that he will be a major influence on legal scholars and practitioners alike, particularly in the area of conflict resolution."
    - Jeffrey Krivis, Mediator/Attorney, Los Angeles

    Roberta H. Kyman, Commissioner, Superior Court of Los Angeles
    "Without his (Mr. Joshua King's) expertise and ability to broker negotiated settlements, our calendars would have been overwhelming. Many times, I saw him take highly emotional, and sometimes verbally combative, litigants into mediation and reach resolutions that I would not have thought possible. His patience level and knowledge of legal issues were highly impressive."
    - Roberta H. Kyman, Commissioner, Superior Court of Los Angeles
