LAW 784 ADR Representation
Lawyers today represent clients in many different forums and in many of these settings there is an ADR component. Often mediation and arbitration are part of the system either by court order, by contract, or by agreement. This course focuses on advocacy skills used in various ADR forms - primarily on representation in mediation and arbitration. Students will also consider developing ADR case law, its implications for practice, and will develop an understanding of other ADR processes including Summary Jury and Mini Trial. Students will review and draft ADR clauses. This course includes lecture, group work, and case simulations, as students will participate as both representing lawyer and in other roles in mediations and arbitrations.
