Alternative Dispute Resolution

This course will encourage students to think outside the box, first in terms of assessing conflict (not just legal conflict but also other forms), and then to broaden the options for addressing it. The course aims to challenge the binary paradigm of "win or lose", and instead focus on problem solving. We will also explore collaborative law, as an open process to promote some of the skills used in ADR. Role simulations will give students a taste of the ADR field. There will be a final take-home exam.
