06/11/2015
IU McKinney will offer its Public Policy Mediation course, a course in basic, civil mediation, August 17-21 at Inlow Hall.
A variety of practitioners from the Indiana bar teach throughout the course. John Trimble, ’81, discusses mediation techniques used in civil settings. Michael Bishop, ’80, teaches about Indiana’s alternative dispute resolution rules. Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller discusses the use of mediation and ADR in state government, and Charles Kidd, ’87, attorney with the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission, teaches about mediation standards of ethical practice.
In addition to the 24 hours of CLE credit and 40 hours of basic, civil mediation training, the course teaches communication skills that serve students in life as well as in the practice of law. Students will practice mediation skills in supervised role-playing, small group exercise, and an interactive video program. Students learn how to deal with multi-party disputes, intergovernmental conflict, how to represent your client in mediation, and other topics. The course also qualifies students to become registered civil mediators.
The course is organized and lead by John Krauss, ’76, former and founding director of the Indiana University Public Policy Institute.
