Description

Details

This comprehensive casebook provides overviews, critical examinations and analyses of the application of ADR’s three main processes for settling legal disputes without litigation – negotiation, mediation, and arbitration – as well as the issues raised as these processes are combined, modified and applied. Using classic and contemporary simulations and questions, it allows students to evaluate, critique and practice the various dispute resolution techniques in use today.

The Sixth Edition has been updated to reflect recent developments in empirical mediation research, including latest research on what makes a mediator successful. It re-examines the law of arbitration in light of recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings and offers more practice-related issues, questions and exercises.
