Mediation from Coast to Coast

Hello CoRe blog enthusiasts!

The Schulich school of Law at Dalhousie University has two great mediation initiatives on the Halifax campus and some fascinating partnerships abroad. Within the law school there is a much sought after alternative dispute resolution (ADR) course, which considers the theory and practice of dispute resolution techniques in the fields of negotiation, mediation and arbitration.

Also, the Dalhousie College of Continuing Education has a ‘Negotiation and Conflict Management Program” for both students and interested community members alike. This program offers intensive several day courses, at both basic and advanced levels, which use methods such as roll play in front of coaches to develop participant’s ADR skills. Check out the Negotiation and Conflict Management Program website for more details, at:
