    This text is a comprehensive guide to the growing field of mediation, combining theoretical, practical, and policy perspectives. Classic mediation and negotiation topics and techniques are presented from a fresh perspectives. The authors weave together excerpts from key books and articles, relevant cases, statutes, and rules and regulations to provide a systematic look at the historical background, theory, ethics, and policy underlying mediation in the United States. They also provide practice guidance for mediators.

    The authors devote substantial attention to negotiation theory, to issues of mediator roles and styles, and to critical issues related to mediator behavior including diversity, fairness, and power concerns. The book embraces and encourages class discussion of the emerging and hotly debated issues relating to mediation.

    The Second Edition of Mediation Theory and Practice addresses many of the new policy initiatives, significant additions to the literature, and emerging case law in the mediation field that have developed since the First Edition was originally published. Additions include:

  • A separate chapter on confidentiality, with expanded commentary and case law relating to the Uniform Mediation Act’s approach to confidential communications in mediation;
  • A new section on justice issues in mediation;
  • New sections, with commentary and case law excerpts addressing recent developments, including the new Riskin grid and the most recent thinking on transformative mediation (from the second edition of Bush & Folger, The Promise of Mediation); and
  • Greatly expanded appendices containing the full text of key ethics rules and codes, and the Uniform Mediation Act.

    The accompanying Teacher’s Manual is designed to assist professors to teach students the essential performance skills for mediating effectively.

    Professors and adjunct professors may request complimentary examination copies of LexisNexis law school publications to consider for class adoption or recommendation. Please identify the book(s) you wish to receive, provide your institutional contact information, and submit your request here.
