Course description

Collaborative practice is a new form of alternative dispute resolution. It involves a principled negotiation where two clients and their lawyers all commit to resolve their dispute according to agreed collaborative protocols and without going to court. It has been widely used throughout the United States and Europe and is now growing in the commercial sector in Australia. The course will be conducted in a three-day intensive block of classes (9 am-5 pm) followed by a one-day class approximately six weeks later during which students will present their research-in-progress.
