Description
The fifth edition updates and reassesses the “Big 3” of dispute resolution, negotiation, and mediation. Arbitration chapters provide coverage of new major cases, including DIRECTTV and Concepcion. New note materials raise serious questions about these cases and challenge the notion that there exists a national policy favoring arbitration. The updated mediation and negotiation chapters continue to be clear and teachable, and the Teacher’s Manual contains more than 20 negotiation and mediation exercises.

This textbook and casebook is the result of a growing number of alternatives to the conventional court trial process, known as alternative dispute resolution (ADR). This fourth edition reflects that growth in ADR. Intended for a one-semester course on ADR processes, topics include: negotiation, negotiation stages, and ethics; mediation, legal, and public policy issues, and common applications; arbitration, and court and agency-annexed alternatives to trial. Authors are Brunet (law, Lewis & Clark Law School), Craver (law, George Washington U. Law School), and Deason (law, Moritz College of Law, Ohio State U.).
