This course introduces you to the theory and skills of mediation, examines current legal and policy issues in the field, surveys the practice of mediation in a range of areas including family, public policy, and commercial, and provides the opportunity to practice techniques as mediators and advocates in the mediation process through simulations. Note: While the class is regularly scheduled for an hour and 50 minutes per week, this is a three credit course due to additional sessions scheduled on a Friday afternoon and full Saturday early in the Semester to fulfill the training requirements. Students will complete a research paper in lieu of a final examination, which will fulfill the upper-level writing requirement. Preference will be given to students who have not previously enrolled in Alternative Dispute Resolution. (Wednesday 4:00-5:40 p.m., plus one Friday and Saturday training workshop early in the semester.)
