Mediation: The Roles of Advocate and Neutral, Fourth Edition, integrates mediation skills and strategies with theory, ethics, and practice applications to teach students about legal mediation and how to represent clients effectively in the process. This book reflects the experience of its authors, who are both professors and practicing legal mediators with decades of experience teaching and resolving cases. It includes all the coverage of mediation found in Resolving Disputes, the survey text, as well as material on negotiation and hybrid processes and additional coverage of mediation.
