Description
This course explores the dynamics, benefits, constraints, and skills related to third party intervention in the settlement of disputes within legal processes and as an adjunct to legal processes. This course examines mediation as a collaborative process of resolving conflict and considers the legislative, ethical, and practical restraints on its use. Through discussions, simulations and role playing, the course focuses on the skills a mediator must have to facilitate a constructive resolution to a dispute. Topics to be covered include: getting the mediation process started; fact investigation and active-listening skills; conflict analysis; framing mediatable issues; tackling distortions due to bias/prejudice; understanding differences; generating movement; concluding the mediation process; clarifying role differences between advocate and mediator; and exposure to some of the current issues in the Dispute Resolution field.
