Mediation and judicial settlement conferences are now the mainstream form of dispute resolution. Every attorney will participate in some form of settlement process.

The course is taught through a case study in which actors play the role of parties to a dispute.

In addition, the students will study mediation and settlement advocacy theory as well as legal issues relevant to mediation and settlement.
