Collaborative & Interdisciplinary Practice

Students learn collaborative theory and skills in conducting all aspects of their assigned clinical duties. Students are able to identify a range of legal and non-normative issues in each case. Interns formulate their individual theoretical framework for incorporating different models of mediation practice, the law, and professional standards. Interns learn how to evaluate whether a particular case should be litigated or mediated. Interns also develop a thorough understanding of the lawyering tasks in legal representation of parties in mediation.
