LAW 2931 - Representing Clients in Mediation
This intensive, interactive course first introduces students to an overview of mediation theories and practices, and then develops a coherent approach and the essential skills for effective client representation in mediation. The course will examine attorney responsibilities in advising clients about dispute resolution options, in preparing both the case and the client for mediation, in representing clients in the mediation session itself, and in drafting ADR clauses. The course will culminate in the students participating in a mock mediation. Hofstra School of Law may choose a team to participate in the ABA Regional Representation in Mediation Competition from course participants. The course will have a take-home examination which will be handed out on the last day of class.
