Institution:

Niagara County Community College

Subject:

CEB - Community Ed Business

Description:

This intensive video course is designed to train and qualify students to develop or participate in conflict mediation processes. Participants will review the growth and application of settlement options in the United States. The course focuses on both traditional and non-traditional dispute resolution options. Specifications will be given to mediation, arbitration summary, jury trials, mini-trials and modern settlement conferences. Students can benefit from viewing 10 hours of taped live lectures and completing 30 hours of reading and writing assignments in the comfort and privacy of their homes or offices, with the added advantage of reviewing the materials as many times as necessary for full retention of the information. ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) is geared for all professionals who are focused on "interest-based bargaining." This course takes the mystery out of settlement solutions. Topics include: why conflicts escalate, why mediation works, the mediation process, the role of the mediator, coming to an agreement, problems encountered in mediation, developing ADR programs for government, business and personal disputes, and divorce settlement mediation. Participants will be expected to complete reading and homework assignments and will choose or be assigned project reports that deal with ADR topics. Independent project development is encouraged. Final projects will be presented for critique to the Center for Legal Studies as prerequisite of course completion.
