Master of Law in Mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

Program Overview

This is a hands-on, practical course which will realistically simulate mediation and negotiation scenarios, allowing you to develop the skills required in practice. Utilising the insights of our experienced professional lecturers, you’ll have the chance to gain first-hand advice and support to fully understand the nuances and skills required to achieve favourable outcomes during dispute resolution.

You will examine key aspects of alternative dispute resolution, including: negotiation; commercial arbitration; how to identify the most appropriate form of ADR; how to critically evaluate legal principles and practical solutions; and how to conduct and evaluate research relevant to your client’s needs. You will also cover mediation, in particular: the role of the mediator; the qualities and skills of an effective mediator; the structure of a mediation; mediation advocacy; drafting consent orders; position statements and settlement agreements; and practicing the art of mediation. This is a particularly practical course, where you will be expected to put into practice what you have learnt through simulated mediation and negotiation scenarios.
