| Course Description | | | Alternative methods of dispute resolution have become part of the processing of a wide range of disputes in our society. Negotiation is still the most frequent way to resolve disputes, both before and after suit is filed. Increasing numbers of cases are voluntarily submitted to mediation, and many state and federal courts order mediation or court-annexed reality-testing processes (e.g., minitrial, summary, jury trial, early neutral evaluation, arbitration) as an integral part of litigation. This course provides an overview of the major types of alternative dispute resolution. It includes theories underlying the operation of these processes, statutory and case law that governs their application in law suits, and simulated exercises. This is not a training course for being a negotiator, mediator, or arbitrator although it will provide a certificate of basic mediator training for court appointment. This course has the objective of exposing students to the ADR processes with a particular emphasis on the role of lawyers in using them. Students will perform roles in a number of mock negotiations, mediations, and court-annexed processes designed to provide a better understanding of how they work in the legal context. This course will count toward the professional skills requirement and will also count as a simulation course. NOTE: Students who took Intercultural Negotiation & Mediation in Berlin or Prof. Jackson’s Mediation Seminar cannot take this class.
