Conflict resolution and restorative practices have helped reform the justice system through mediation and restorative justice programs introduced in civil and criminal jurisdictions and in the community more broadly. This unit is designed to expand students' understanding of the range of processes that can be used to manage, resolve and prevent disputes and conflicts in the legal, organisational and community contexts. Students will learn to apply principles of conflict analysis and case management also. The unit will focus on the Conferencing process. Specific case studies, role-plays and communication skills will be taught and practiced. This unit complements LAW3NEG and LAW3MST. Students must apply for this unit by completing the application form. A quota is also applied.
