Course Description:
This course examines the theory, practice, and policy of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) as applied in governmental and public-sector contexts. Students will explore how negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and hybrid processes are used by federal, state, and local governments to resolve disputes involving agencies, regulated entities, public employees, and citizens. Through case studies, simulations, and policy analysis, students will assess when ADR enhances efficiency, legitimacy, and access to justice—and when it raises concerns about power imbalances, precedent, and democratic governance.
