LAW-6395 MEDIATION

This course seeks to introduce students to mediation as a concept and as a skill to use as a dispute resolution mechanism. Following some introductory sessions designed to explore the essential characteristics of mediation as assisted negotiation, students will be provided with intensive skills training as background for doing a series of simulations. The remaining class sessions will be devoted to exploring certain emerging conceptual and ethical issues as well as to the application of mediation in various specific settings (e.g., family, neighborhood, labor and environmental disputes).
