Alternative Dispute Resolution

In this course, students will discuss various dispute resolution processes (e.g., negotiation, mediation [open versus closed], arbitration, collaborative, etc.) and learn to determine whether alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is necessary or appropriate. Learners will develop an understanding of when ADR can be ordered, the potential implications of choosing to sue ADR or not use ADR, and how to prepare the client for ADR (process, forms, dynamics).
