This intensive mediation advocacy course is offered in three Saturday classes (October 17th, October 24th and November 7th). The first day of class will include lectures, a series of skill building exercises, and an overview of the mediation process, basic mediation theory and practice, mediation confidentiality, and ethical issues specific to mediation.
The second and third days of class will be devoted to practicing as advocates in simulated mediation exercises and debriefing. Students can expect personalized coaching and feedback from peers, the instructor, and guest mediators.
Homework will include a short text on mediation, to be read in advance of the first class. Otherwise, homework will focus on studying simulation materials and preparing a strategic plan (for submission), drafting and exchanging mediation statements, and counseling clients in advance of the simulated mediation sessions. Attendance is mandatory at all three dates.
