510458 - CLINIC OF MEDIATION AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION

At the end of the clinic, students are required to have a thorough knowledge of the institution of mediation and the legal provisions governing its operation. Knowledge of alternative dispute resolution methods in general and the basic ideological principles that inform ADR is also required. In particular, mastery of the regulatory provisions that are contained in decreto legislativo n. 28 of 4 March 2010, with all subsequent amendments, is necessary and basic, and will therefore constitute a significant part of learning. The student will also be able to understand the application of procedural rules to concrete cases, also based on the reading and explanation of some of the most important case law. They will be able to analyse and evaluate with a basic critical approach the interpretative orientations. The main mediation techniques, in terms of communication, argumentative activities and persuasion strategies, will also form a fundamental part of the course. There will also be practical exercises (mediation simulations) that will enable students to put rules and techniques of mediation into practice, learning how the institution works.
