Skills & Values: Alternative Dispute Resolution is designed to give students both theory and practical application for the skills and values which come into play during the various forms of alternative dispute resolution, including negotiation, mediation, collaborative law and arbitration. It may be successfully used as a stand-alone course book or as a practical supplement to a standard text. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of the dispute resolution process. The idea is to read the material and then test and develop knowledge through exercises and simulations.

Updated to include the sudden emergence of online negotiation—including mediation and arbitration—the simulations are designed to be done either in person or online. This makes the book ideal for either in-person, remote, or blended learning.
