and mediation coverage not in the parent book, including discussions of the merits of mediation, psychological issues, mediating class actions, and conducting multi-party mediation.
Integrates theory with skills and strategies, ethics, the law, and multiple practice applications, with more emphasis on the practical and lawyer-usable than on the theoretical and academic.

New to the Second Edition:
- New exercises that illustrate how lawyers can use and shape the mediation process, for example, when selecting mediators and dealing with positional bargainers, and a cross-cultural business roleplay.
- A new DVD that shows male and female commercial mediators mediating an international business dispute. The DVD is organized into short chapters to make it easy to use in the classroom. Each chapter shows a particular stage in the process or technique, ranging from a pre-mediation meeting to the use of decision analysis and impasse-breaking techniques. (NOTE: DVD itself is already available to ADR teachers generally)
