MEDIATION ADVOCACY FOR LITIGATORS
(LAWJ-4054) - 2 UNITS

We will make use of weekly hypotheticals, most of which will be based on actual cases from the film, television, music and video game industries. We will conduct many mock mediations in order to demonstrate not only how to be effective during the mediation, but also to learn the crucial strategic litigation tactics and moves which need to be taken before the mediation actually begins. These litigation steps are intended to create and maximize leverage, the key ingredient necessary for a successful mediation. Success at mediation will help you satisfy and retain clients, help you develop a book of future business and, most of all, enhance your value to your law firm as a diligent, competent and dependable associate and, hopefully, put you on the track for partnership. The current plan is to have guest speakers and guest mediators as well.
