After taking this course you will be able to:
- identify a range of mediation theories and the negotiation philosophies of participants and counsel
- prepare for mediation including participant readiness, location choice, and paperwork
- execute mediation process informed by a sequenced framework
- use questioning, reflective, and intervention skills to help advance the negotiation
- structure and conduct separate meetings with participants
- make informed decisions about how to capture agreement
Please note: This course is offered remotely through a Zoom platform. A device equipped with a camera and microphone will be required to participate.

"Full participation" is at the faculty's sole discretion. Activities such as reading the paper, watching videos on the computer, not being present, engaging in phone calls, and disrupting the class with irrelevant activities will demonstrate lack of full participation.
