The course is designed to be a practice-based seminar for students who have interest in arbitration, mediation and third party procedures.  Classroom discussion and reading will focus on labor and employment arbitration and mediation cases.  Significant class time will be spent with students preparing and participating in arbitration and mediation scrimmages with their classmates to foster a deep understanding of how advocates prepare and present cases and how arbitrators decide them. The effectiveness of arbitration and mediation as a technique for resolving conflict will be assessed and lessons will be drawn about the practices used by advocates, neutrals and parties.
