Description
Legal education commonly focuses on the litigation process, case law, and the role of the courts as providers of justice.This fosters the assumption that litigation, or legal advice predicting the outcome of litigation, is the normal method ofresolving disputes. In fact only a small proportion of disputes are resolved by litigation Instead, there is a growingdissatisfaction with the cost, speed and adversarial character of litigation, and a corresponding interest in alternative formsof dispute resolution. This course examines the legal and policy context of dispute resolution, and surveys and critiques arange of nonadversarial approaches to contemporary legal practice.
