W74 LAW 661AEmployment/Civil Rights Mediation and Dispute Resolution Theory and Practice (Tokarz)3.0 Units
Description:Enrollment limit: 20. Drop deadline: one day after the first day the class meets. This course explores employment and civil rights mediation and dispute resolution processes in the private and public sectors, and includes attention to the negotiation underpinnings of mediation and dispute resolution. The course provides concepts and tools that apply to a wide variety of employment and civil rights disputes, including discrimination, harassment, failure to hire or promote, wrongful termination, severance, health and safety violations, unfair wages, and workers compensation under state and federal, employment and civil rights statutes. The course focuses on the development of the theoretical, analytical, and interpersonal skills necessary to be successful as both negotiator/advocates and mediator/dispute resolution experts in multiple employment and civil rights mediation and dispute resolution processes, including Equal Employment Opportunity Commission conciliation and mediation, court-ordered dispute resolution, ombuds programs, and internal corporate dispute resolution. The course develops theoretical and analytical frameworks through case studies and articles, in which students examine and extrapolate lessons from both practitioners and theorists. The course develops mediation skills through simulation exercises, in which students hone their powers of communication and persuasion, and experiment with tactics and strategies typically used in negotiation and mediation. Student grades are based on weekly written assignments throughout the semester, preparation for and participation in class role play exercises, and a final paper. The weekly assignments are not graded anonymously, as they are used as a method of providing ongoing feedback to students; the final paper also is not graded anonymously, as there will be ongoing dialogue with and feedback from the instructor. Students are graded according to the standard numeric grading scale. There are no prerequisites

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
