Description

The Practice of Mediation: A Video-Integrated Text 4th Edition Douglas N. Frenkel ISBN 9781543847604

This widely adopted, all-original book was the first in its field to combine comprehensive analysis of the mediation process with integrated video case studies demonstrating a full range of mediation skills. The core text is paired with nearly eight hours of online video featuring three real-world cases: a child custody dispute, a small claims consumer matter, and a complex negligence suit. These unscripted mediations showcase mediators and lawyers with diverse backgrounds and styles, including an extended comparative example of facilitative and evaluative mediation on the same case. By integrating text and video, students gain a deeper understanding of mediation, enabling classroom and clinical instruction to be more sophisticated and effective.

New to the Fourth Edition:

• A new chapter on mediating via video conference, including research comparing remote and in-person mediation.

• A new chapter on pre-mediation conferencing, with nearly one hour of video depicting Zoom conferences in an employment discrimination matter.

• Updated discussion on the potential impact of virtual mediation on mediator ethics, representation, and the mediation process.

Benefits for Professors and Students:

• Practice- and research-based analysis of negotiations and why they fail.

• Contextualized model of the mediator’s role and skills, applicable across a wide range of disputes, with emphasis on clinical and simulation settings.
