About Fulcrum Dispute Resolution Clinic

For over 12 years, The Fulcrum Institute Dispute Resolution Clinic has been one of the best and most highly-regarded mediation and training organizations in the State of Washington.

In July of 1993, James Rutherford and Jack Hebner opened the doors of the Fulcrum Institute, as a mediation firm dedicated to resolving conflict without litigation.  The firm was designed to provide educational classes in conflict resolution to business, schools, government, other specific groups and individuals. 

By the end of 1993, the Fulcrum Institute had formed the Fulcrum Institute Dispute Resolution Clinic Association, a non profit formed under the guidelines of RCW 7.75 in the state of Washington. 

The Association’s Board of Directors oversees the operation of the Fulcrum Institute Dispute Resolution Clinic.
