Course Description:  Alternative Dispute Resolution is a skills-oriented course teaching negotiation, mediation, and arbitration.  The goal of the course is to develop the professional skills necessary to engage in appropriate resolutions of disputes.  The format of the class integrates theory and practice combining short lectures on theory and methods with demonstration and observation of others.  The majority of the time in the course is spent engaged in simulated exercises of problem-solving and dispute resolution.  The course is graded on the basis of class participation and two papers, a negotiation position paper and a mediation statement.
