This course introduces the mediation process from the advocate's
perspective and then provides an opportunity to practice those skills
necessary to become effective advocates in this process. The advocacy
skills students will practice include listening, summarizing, reframing
and negotiation skills as well as preparation of opening statements in
mediation. Classes will consist of lectures by the instructor as well as experts in the field, demonstrations of advocacy skills, and participation by students in role plays supervised by the instructor and attorney mediators. The course will require readings from the text and supplemental materials, class attendance, participation in discussion and role plays, a paper and written work predicated on the lecture and role plays. There will be one Saturday or extended class which will be required attendance for everyone. Class participation and attendance will count for 50% of the final grade and a paper will count for the remaining 50%. |
