Product details
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.
-

-
End-of-chapter problems to assess student learning.
-

-
Rental returns: free at semester's end, prorated if early
Print a prepaid return label from your account whenever you have finished with the book, and drop it at the carrier listed on the label. Returning it by your semester return date, or after it is already overdue, is free with no deduction. Returning it early, before that date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund.
-
Purchase returns: 15% restocking fee
Purchases can be returned within 30 days in the condition you received. We will email a prepaid return label; once we receive your book, we refund the purchase price minus the 15% restocking fee and the return label cost. Original shipping is non-refundable.
-
Shipping costs calculated at checkout
Real-time rates are quoted at checkout based on your address and the books in your cart. Returning your book by your semester date is always free; an early return deducts the restocking fee and label cost from your refund instead.
Rental Terms
Return by December 28, 2026 for Fall 2026 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it EARLY, before your semester return date, deducts a 15% restocking fee and the label cost from your refund, the same as cancelling a shipped rental for a refund.
- 30-Day Cancellation
- Changed your mind? Cancel an active rental within 30 days of your order from My Account → My Rentals. Cancel before your book ships and it’s free; once it has shipped, we refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable.
