LAW 6519 - Intra:Virt'l Online Mediation

Institution:

University of Dayton

Subject:

Law

Description:

Students will develop basic mediation skills through simulated exercises conducted in virtual online environments designed to expose them to the different roles lawyers can play in mediation as well as what parties may experience in resolving disputes in mediation. Additionally, they will experience and evaluate skills and parameters unique to online mediation, including voice- and text-based communication, interfacing through avatars and video-communication, multi-language translation and cross-cultural communication, designing forums and virtual meeting places to facilitate the mediation process. Professional and ethical issues such as confidentiality, rules on multi-jurisdictional practice, and the debate over uniform standards of practice for mediators will also be considered. Finally, we will reflect on the suitability of virtual and online mediation for resolving different disputes, including those involving global and cross-cultural dimensions as well as those with important social justice dimensions affecting individuals and communities in many places around the world.
