This intensive mediation advocacy course is offered in three Saturday classes (January 22, February 12, March 5) from 9:30 am to 6 pm. The first day of class will include in-depth practice preparing a sophisticated client for mediation and an overview of the mediation process, basic mediation theory and practice, core principles of mediation confidentiality and party self-determination, 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.
Most homework will involve 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.
