Moving from theory to practice, students will explore the practice of mediation further from the perspective of the mediator, representing a party in mediation, and from the viewpoint of a party to mediation. Issues of gender, power imbalance, diversity and breakdown in communication will be examined. The practical learning is taken one step further with hands-on involvement in real-life mediated disputes while always observing the Code of Conduct. Through role plays, case studies and hands on observations, students will build upon the basic understanding of negotiations in ADR. 5000, to assist clients, businesses and community organizations in resolving disputes.
