LAW 545 Alternate Dispute Resolution: Law, Practice, and Policy Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Academia ] Employment Law: General Why it is relevant for ... [ Academia ] as a Key Elective : Employment lawyers, particularly those involved in litigation, spend a significant amount of time negotiating resolutions short of trial and representing clients at mediation or arbitration hearings. Collective bargaining agreements typically have mandatory arbitration clauses as do many employment agreements. State courts also often mandate some form of alternative dispute resolution before trial. Students should consider taking one or more ADR courses to develop an understanding of, and skills in, different ADR methods. This survey course will give a broad overview of alternative procedures. Other ADR courses, such as Mediation, provide a combination of theory and experiential learning. General course Description: Lawyers' representation of their clients increasingly calls for skills within a broad range of alternative dispute resolution processes. In this course, you will learn about the variety of dispute resolution procedures that operate under the ADR umbrella, within and outside of the court system (including mediation and arbitration). The goal is for students to understand the law and policy behind these alternatives relative to court adjudication, to be able to select the appropriate process for a client, and to effectively represent that client in the selected process. Guests include third party neutrals and advocates from a range of contexts, including federal court, private mediation, private and public arbitration, and corporate legal counsel. Course Style: A Substantive/ Perspective course looks at law from an external or non-traditional standpoint. |
