This widely-adopted mediation text was the first to combine in-depth textual analysis of the mediation process with video case studies illustrating the stages of the mediation process and the many constituent skills of effective mediators. The Practice of Mediation, Second Edition expands that video content and makes it available to students online or in a seamless e-book format, with a simple click of an icon. The book has quickly become the text of choice in mediation clinics and mediation simulation courses.

Features of the second edition:

• All original text, written in an accessible and conversational style. Used by many first-time mediation instructors as well as by highly experienced teachers and trainers.
• Provides students with a sophisticated conceptual understanding of the negotiation process and the cognitive, psychological and strategic barriers to conflict resolution.
• Teaches about the mediation process “from the inside out,” breaking down the skills of effective mediation into their component parts.
• Closely analyzes the major ethical and role issues that mediators encounter “on the ground.” Includes a video-driven chapter on representation of clients in mediation.
• Recognizes and prepares students for all of the major approaches to mediation.
• Contains seven hours of video, depicting nine professional mediators, with different backgrounds and orientations, mediating three different cases, often with very different results.
• The video extracts are fully integrated with the text, enabling students to “see” what they are reading about as they read it, and enabling instructors to save precious classroom time by assigning video extracts to be viewed and analyzed outside of class.
• The three video case studies are all based on real mediated disputes.
• In these unscripted mediations, the mediators and lawyers perform as they would in an actual case. Professional actors portray the role of the disputants in an extremely realistic and believable fashion. In addition to illustrating a very wide range of mediator techniques, the video includes an extended comparative example of facilitative and evaluative mediation of the same matter.
• The Teacher's Manual includes detailed, flexible chapter-by-chapter teaching notes; a wide variety of simulations and mini-role-plays from which to choose (many with instructor debriefing notes); sample syllabi and suggestions for how the book can be used in a variety ofcourse configurations; transcripts of the video extracts that instructors can assign to students for further “micro-analysis,” plus author commentary; andassorted additional course information material and handouts.

Mediating Justice: Legal Dispute Negotiations, 2nd Edition provides the most comprehensive, practical, and theoretical framework for mediating disputes over rights in Canada. One of the unique features of this book is that it brings together, in one source, all of the multi-disciplinary literature on negotiation and mediation in the important context of conflicts over rights. The central theme is the power of authentic "talk" and "listening" in the resolution of our most difficult disputes.

The author provides strategic advice on the best dispute resolution practices and the role of lawyers and law in legal dispute negotiations. Practitioners will develop an enhanced understanding of the dynamics of dispute resolution and the tailoring of facilitative practices to particular disputes or barriers for successful interventions.

This resource was written for lawyers, mediators, and other conflict resolution professionals, such as human resource practitioners, judges, and tribunal members. As well, particular attention was also paid to law students.

What's included:

• An update of the most recent multi-disciplinary literature on dispute resolution in one accessible source;
• An analysis of a wide range of cutting-edge techniques for intervening in legal disputes, particularly those that are emotional or involving many parties;
• Extensive updates on the role of emotions, ethics, and on-line technology in conflict resolution;
• Descriptions of the practice routines of experienced negotiators and mediators in preparing to intervene;
• A review of new and evolving mediation theories; and
• An analysis of recent developments in the law pertaining to the confidentiality of mediated settlement discussions.

About the Author
The Honourable George W. Adams, Q.C. is one of Canada's most experienced professional mediators. He is an award winning author as well as a former superior court judge, law professor, agency head, senior bureaucrat, and legal practitioner. He has used Mediating Justice to educate law students at the University of Toronto School of Law in negotiation theory and practice and to provide mediation training to senior administrative tribunal members and lawyers.

Dubbed the "guru" of mediation by the National Post, Adams has mediated in a vast range of legal conflict situations. In 1997 he resigned from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, in a rare instance of a judge stepping down from the bench to establish a neutral dispute resolution practice.

Optimising the outcome of disputes connected with international business forms the subject matter of International Arbitration and Mediation: A Practical Guide.

Rather than adopt an idealised approach of pursuing victories at any cost, the authors help parties predict the realistic consequences (and costs) of their decisions and provide a step-by-step guide to opportunities to influence the course of a dispute as it unfolds in its various stages. They discuss techniques for productively resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, and arbitration, frequently illustrating critical steps through real-world examples drawn from past experiences.

The book is intended as an easily accessible desktop resource for lawyers who regularly counsel businesses when negotiating international deals, and for those who represent the same clients in achieving a successful resolution when disputes emerge.

The practical guidance includes:

• How to determine which dispute resolution clauses work best for different international contracts, and how to negotiate those clauses
• What preliminary steps parties should consider to preserve their rights when a dispute arises
• Whether and how to appoint counsel
• When and how to perform an early case assessment (ECA)
• How to organise and conduct international mediations and arbitration proceedings
• How to enforce (or set aside) arbitral awards
• Securing the benefit of additional protections available through investment treaties

The text is divided into chapters that follow the life cycle of an international commercial dispute as seen through the eyes of the parties, from when they agree how to resolve disputes in their contracts to the endgame of enforcement. Additionally, the appendices include a number of model submissions for further reference.
