Advanced Topics in Dispute Resolution

This seminar course offers the opportunity for intense and robust investigation of discrete issues arising in the course of resolving disputes by means other than the courts. Students will prepare and discuss issues of public policy, practice, and theory, and they will be responsible for original scholarship on a topic of their choosing.

Recommended for the Following Professional Pathways: Litigation/Dispute Resolution; International Business; International Law/Human Rights; Labor/Employment; Family Law

Prerequisites: At least two of the following—any mediation course, any arbitration course, any negotiation course, or membership in the Dispute Resolution Team.
