Description
This new edition of this popular book is much improved. It includes all of the latest developments, for example: the ABA SDR Task Force on Mediation Quality, all of the new arbitration cases to date, and the revised Rule 408, as well as new readings updating federal court ADR, mass torts (tied to the BP oil spill), and online dispute resolution. It has been streamlined considerably and reorganized to make it more user-friendly and even easier to teach. At the same time, new readings and cases have been introduced that tie the traditional materials more explicitly to ethics and the law more generally.

The first edition was published in 1987; this fifth edition is published to keep abreast of the field, shifting emphasis somewhat away from history and toward a sharper focus on current law and user-friendly presentation. Coverage encompasses the nature of conflict and disputes, the attorney-client relationship, negotiation, mediation, arbitration, mixed processes, and designing and selecting dispute resolution processes. Appendices include federal rules of civil procedure, selected model rules of professional conduct, Uniform Mediation Act, standards for conduct of mediators, Federal Arbitration Act, Uniform Arbitration Act, and the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures.
