The Basic ADR Course
To receive an ADR Certificate the graduate must successfully complete the three-credit-hour basic ADR course.

 Additional ADR Course Work
To receive an ADR Certificate the graduate must successfully complete six credit hours from the following courses:

ADVANCED FAMILY MEDIATION
In this inter-disciplinary course, Law and graduate students from Psychology, Guidance and Counseling, and Communications focus on advanced skills training, simulated family mediations and other mediations which extensively draw upon the family mediation model, and the observation of such mediations. The Basic ADR course is a prerequisite. 3 credits.

NEGOTIATION
Through discussion and simulation, students learn the techniques of negotiating in commercial, domestic relations, labor, and litigation contexts. 3 credits.

NATURAL RESOURCES DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Drawing on this history of the West and several disciplines, the seminar presents a conceptual framework for understanding the history of ideas that have shaped the policies, institutions, and strategies used to resolve natural resource and other public policy conflicts in the American West. Since the theory and practice of public dispute resolution emerged, in large part, from the need to find more effective ways to resolve environmental and natural resource disputes, this seminar focuses on natural resource and environmental dispute resolution. 3 credits.

INDEPENDENT AND ADVANCED ADR STUDIES
In recent years, students, in a small group setting or as an independent study, have taken advanced ADR studies in topics ranging from "advanced family dispute resolution," "arbitration," and "advanced mediation." Students may arrange to take ADR courses in topics of interest by arraignment with faculty. Up to 3 credits.

Skill Activities
To receive an ADR Certificate the graduate must successfully complete:

MEDIATION CLINIC
4 credits. The ADR course is a prerequisite.

Third-Year Legal Writing Incorporating ADR
Every Law School graduate is required to complete an Advanced Writing Requirement. To qualify for an ADR Certificate, the Advanced Writing Requirement must incorporate a substantial ADR component. for Example, e.g., mediation of environmental disputes, court rules mandating the use of ADR in conjunction with traditional litigation, ADR in Indian Country, negotiating in Indian Country, arbitration of labor disputes, party expectations at settlement conferences, etc. To assure that a Third-Year Writing Assignment satisfies this requirement, the Director of the ADR Certificate Program is to review the writing topic and the final writing of every Certificate Program student.
