Special Programs/Organizations

Alternative Dispute Resolution Clinic

In the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Clinic, students learn methods of negotiation, mediation, and arbitration and then mediate actual cases. In addition to developing skills in client counseling, students in the ADR Clinic learn about the dynamics of conflict, the role of the neutral third-party in disputes, and the ethical standards in the ADR field. The SIU School of Law and the SIU College of Agriculture offer dispute resolution services for citizens of the State of Illinois who have disputes with the United States Department of Agriculture. Students who observe mediations in the Illinois Agricultural Mediation Program can learn not only about mediation, but also about agricultural and environmental/land use issues.
