Pennsylvania Western University

Subject:

Conflict Resolution

Description:

This course is designed to compare and contrast legal approaches to conflict resolution. Specifically, the student will examine and differentiate between litigation and other alternative processes to dispute resolution. The role of the professional neutral in reaching settlements will be explored as well as the rationale for non-litigated settlements. Students will focus on and interpret different stages of mediation that interface with the legal system. As part of this process, students will also be exposed to issues of concern for attorney and non-attorney mediators in areas such as discovery, drafting agreements, conflicts of interests, confidentiality, and other ethical dilemmas.
