Minor in Dispute Resolution
The minor in dispute resolution is for students who are interested in learning more about resolving disputes and conflict in both their personal and professional lives. Students study how disputes arise and various means of resolving them, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration and litigation. The minor teaches students how to use these means to resolve problems on a personal and community basis. Role play activities enable students to partake in actual dispute resolution. The minor is not designed to prepare students to work as paralegals.
