CMDR-511: Dispute Resolution Syst in Org

This course explores the growing trend toward the design, development and implementation of dispute resolution systems within and among public and private sector organizations: in employment, commercial, judicial, and public policy contexts. The course will examine the burgeoning field of dispute systems design in the new economy with focus on potential advantages and disadvantages of this approach to what arguably is the privatization of justice. Students will also be provided with a practical framework to apply dispute systems to design concepts in complex disputes across a variety of venues, with the opportunity to apply it to their own designated subject matter area.
