LAW 721 - Alternative Dispute Resolution


This course will explore the various processes of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) available to attorneys and their clients, with particular focus on negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and court and agency-annexed ADR. The role of the lawyer in counseling a client and recommending a specific ADR process will be examined, as will the role of technology in ADR (including online ADR), and the ethical issues that surround a lawyer’s participation in ADR processes. Skills in communication and ADR processes will be developed through role play and simulation exercises, both in and out of class, throughout the semester, with learning reinforced through a reflective journal.
