This course aims to provide students with an understanding of how and why disputes arise. It will then examine the main dispute resolution methods found in the Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) continuum followed by specific examination of the negotiation process and the mediation process. The aim of this course is NOT to train students to be accredited mediators but to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge about the concepts of negotiation and mediation as adopted in the business and legal communities at large.
