About this Unit
This unit will examine the theory and practice of alternative dispute resolution generally, and in the context of the Australian legal system specifically, although the course does not focus specifically on the law. The unit is experientially-based, and students will be expected to participate in discussions, exercises and role-plays. The theory and practice of conflict and dispute resolution will be critically considered, as will the social, cultural and legal context within which alternative dispute resolution occurs. The unit is presented with a multi-disciplinary, analytical and practical approach. Given the very broad range of areas within which alternative dispute resolution can be applied, students will be able to focus on an area or areas of particular personal or professional interest to them (for example, commercial dispute resolution; employment and workplace disputes; anti-discrimination law; family law; neighbourhood and community dispute resolution; customer/consumer complaint resolution). Although an introduction to mediation is included in this unit, it is not a unit on mediation. This unit will provide students with a broad understanding of the theory.
