PACS 760 - Mediation and the Law

Credits: 3
Mediation has been used to settle differences for as long as people have been disputing. The modern legal system affects the practice of mediation in many ways and is in turn affected by mediation. This course studies these effects and prepares a mediator to function both inside and outside the legal system. Statutory and case law will be reviewed. Students individually select and focus on a substantive law area.
Prerequisite: PACS-700
