Mediation and Conflict Management (Semester 2)
LAWS7851 involves the study of the dynamics of conflict and mediation theory and practice. By the end of the course, students should understand the role of mediation as a dispute management process and the processes by which conflict in professional contexts can be managed. They should also possess the basic skills necessary to effectively conduct and/or meaningfully participate in mediation in a quasi-legal context.
This course will focus particularly on mediation theory and practice. It will cover the requisite content for mediation accreditation and offer practical experiences but does not involve any assessment sufficient to meet the National Mediation Accreditation Standards.
The content and practical components will provide skills for mediators, managers, employers, human resources professionals and educators as well as users of mediation services, advocates and supporters in mediation, lawyers, and academics.
