LAW 909LEC - ADR & The Family Lawyer

Using classic texts, contemporary articles, conversation and other experiences, students will develop an understanding of the basic forms of ADR and analyze the ways that alternatives to the traditional litigation process can be used in family law matters. Considering the way that ADR options, whether brought about by policy or by party choice, affect the role of the attorney and the relationships of the parties to each other and to the legal system will help students respond to recent changes in practice and the expectations for attorneys in many fields to consider anew how to help their clients meet their objectives.
