Description
This three credit course will examine mediation in three substantive contexts for evaluation of clinical value for advanced study of both substantive lawyering theory as well as advanced practice of third party neutral skills in live client cases. Students will learn the law and procedure governing the mediation of complaints filed under: the Americans with Disabilities Act; the Civil Rights Acts; and with the NYC Civilian Complaint Review Board of claims of police misconduct. Moreover, protocols will be explored for any potential long term formal association with the Queens Mediation Service which has been awarded the contract for diversion of criminal cases in Queens County.Students will also be assigned to conduct actual mediations, where available and under the professor's supervision, in the above referred areas. This clinical practice will be limited in order to further evaluate which subject matters are best suited to the learning objectives and pedagogy of a mediation clinic containing lawyering objectives.Students will also help develop and prepare a procedures and guidelines handbook that will govern the operation of the future CUNY Law School Mediation Clinic. Students will assist in formulating policy guidelines for the supervision and evaluation of law student mediators.
