Student Training Programs
Alternative Dispute Resolution is no longer an alternative process. It has now become one of the premier methods of resolving disputes, whether they arise in trade or commerce, business or family. It is now manifestly clear to both practitioners and legal educators that a comprehensive professional exposure to ADR is necessary to engage in cutting-edge and high-quality law practice. Effective conflict resolution skills help consultants and professionals to prevent destructive conflicts and assist clients in managing and resolving disputes.
Both aspiring neutrals and advocates should know the scientific themes and stages of mediation as well as the variety of styles, techniques and process of mediation and advocacy. Lawyers are normally trained to focus narrowly on a formatted case, regulated by the process of the court. ADR trains them to take a much wider view.
