This workshop brings together research and practice on negotiation and mediation and share vital knowledge between mediators and mediation advocates. Workshop presentations and exercises will focus on the new skills, knowledge, and sensitivities of “conflict resolution advocacy”, viewed from the perspective of both counsel and mediators. It will combine presentations on empirical research from Macfarlane’s book with discussion and interactive exercises examining the practical demands of effective consensus-building, whether as an advocate or a third party.
