Course Contents: In the last 18 years, a new profession has emerged. Widely used in divorce and custody, Collaborative Law first took hold in Minneapolis in 1990 and has spread across the country. In this model, parties and attorneys agree to decide the outcome of the case by settlement rather than litigation. This challenges attorneys to work together, since fighting in court is not an option. This course offers mediative strategies to help professionals work together instead of against each other, as they were originally trained to do.
Course Outline:
- The Ego and Its Role in Conflict and Communication
- Interpersonal Communication Styles and Strategies
- Identifying and Correcting Faulty Communication
- Responding to High Emotion
- Resolving High Conflict Disputes
- Real Case Examples of Difficult Communication Between Collaborative Professionals
Who Should Take This Course?
Collaborative professionals of all types: attorneys, mental health professionals and consultants
Lawyers who want to improve their settlement and negotiation skills
Mediators or others who want to become involved in collaborative law
