Description:

This unit will introduce students to alternative dispute resolution methods in a theoretical, critical and evaluative light.

(Note: alternative dispute resolution methods will be embedded into the LLB program through case studies implemented as methods of assessment in a number of substantive LLB areas).  The unit will engage students in ADR and negotiation exercises and role plays and assess them on their participation.
