Purpose is to link classroom discussion and analysis of arbitration and mediation with opportunities for students to observe actual arbitration and mediation cases. The course is designed to be an advanced seminar for graduate and undergraduate students who have a serious interest in pursuing a career in arbitration or mediation. Classroom discussions and readings will focus on both labor arbitration and mediation (i.e., the use of arbitration and mediation in unionized settings) and employment arbitration and mediation (i.e., the use of arbitration and mediation in cases involving nonunion employees).
