Mediation

More about the book

The innovative author team of Menkel-Meadow, Love, and Schneider presents a comprehensive book dedicated to mediation. Building on their 2005 ADR survey casebook, this work expands the topic while maintaining the original structure. It offers a fresh perspective on the skills and processes involved in mediation, covering law, policy, case examples, and practice guidelines for mediators and attorney representatives. The exploration includes mediation in transactional and international contexts, along with an analysis of ethical guidelines and dilemmas. The authors provide critiques of mediation, highlighting its promise and potential. Recognized leaders in dispute resolution, the authors are noted for their contributions to scholarship, teaching, and policy-making. The book adopts a practical problem-solving approach, incorporating both analytical and behavioral strategies across diverse gender, race, and cultural contexts. Carefully selected cases are complemented by key readings, including critical articles, empirical studies, and relevant statutes. To aid class preparation, an extensive Teacher's Manual includes suggested syllabi, teaching notes, discussion prompts, additional problems, role plays, and lists of supplemental materials, such as videos and transcripts, along with examination and paper suggestions for each chapter.
