Full Article act The Practice of Mediation: A Video Integrated Text, 2nd Edition By www.cch.ca Published On :: Wed, 23 Jan 2013 07:35:11 GMT Published: June 2012 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.

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.

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.

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. If you would like more details about this product, or would like to order a copy online, please click here.
