|---|---|---|
| This predominantly experiential course immerses you into the theory and practice of alternative dispute resolution with a strong emphasis on the mediation process, an effective and collaborative problem-solving approach to resolving disputes, where the parties to the dispute, with assistance of an impartial third party ("mediator"), are in control of making the informed decisions necessary to resolve their dispute. Through demonstrations, role plays, videotapes, coaching, class discussions, presentations, readings and written assignments, you will learn about the theory of mediation and its practice from the perspective of a mediator, a party, and an attorney representing clients in mediation. | ||
