Course Description

The codes and rules governing professional conduct for attorneys provide little guidance for attorneys serving as mediators. Attorneys must instead rely on their own understanding of the principles of mediation and the applicable ethical standards. This course discusses those principles and standards, and provides a framework for resolving ethical dilemmas that arise in mediation.
