Mediating Justice: Legal Dispute Negotiations, 2nd Edition provides the most comprehensive, practical, and theoretical framework for mediating disputes over rights in Canada. One of the unique features of this book is that it brings together, in one source, all of the multi-disciplinary literature on negotiation and mediation in the important context of conflicts over rights. The central theme is the power of authentic "talk" and "listening" in the resolution of our most difficult disputes.
The author provides strategic advice on the best dispute resolution practices and the role of lawyers and law in legal dispute negotiations. Practitioners will develop an enhanced understanding of the dynamics of dispute resolution and the tailoring of facilitative practices to particular disputes or barriers for successful interventions.
This resource was written for lawyers, mediators, and other conflict resolution professionals, such as human resource practitioners, judges, and tribunal members. As well, particular attention was also paid to law students.
