Course Description
This course examines the legal, ethical, and policy issues that arise when using the mediation process to resolve multi-party controversies. Students work with the professor and clinical attorney as neutral interveners in the development of party engagement protocols, problem definition, and mediated negotiations for multi-party disputes. In addition to the applied work, each student must mediate a simulated case that is recorded and reviewed by Professor Stulberg; analyzes and critiques the simulated mediation work of a professional mediator; and writes a targeted analytical paper that examines an important policy issue in the field.
