Harvard Law School – Program on Negotiation – The Clearinghouse

More than 200 role-play simulations are available through the Program on Negotiation Clearinghouse. These put participants in hypothetical situations and challenge them to deliberate and make decisions in new and different ways. Role-play simulations foster both individual and collective learning that can be transferred to “real world” situations. They also provide safe and flexible settings for experimentation.

This video involves a business dispute between a Russian distillery and an American manufacturer and distributor of alcoholic beverages. Allegations of unfair trade practices, trademark and trade dress infringements and bad faith pirating dominate the dispute. The video uses an actual INTA mediator and INTA members as talent, and was first shown at INTA’s 125th Anniversary Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The video also features an accompanying downloadable study guide. CPR is the copyright owner and has agreed to make this video freely available for non-commercial use. However, where the video is shown to paying audiences (e.g. in a training program or a conference where delegates pay to be present) CPR asks for a broadcast license fee. For more information, please contact CPR (www.cpradr.org). The video is also available from CPR in DVD format.

Time: 40-minute duration.

Canadian Archery & The Angry Neighbours

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Internal Trade, Canada 

Written by Allan Stitt and Michael Gibson, produced by Zapdramatic

The art and science of mediation using interactive simulations. Participate in simulated disputes between an athlete and his association and between two angry neighbours. These videos give the opportunity to intervene as a mediator in two disputes, guiding the disputants towards resolution in a safe, simulated environment.

The benefit of simulated experiences is that failure doesn’t mean a life-destroying professional disgrace. The learner gains the wisdom to recognize the traps and make better, more effective choices. http://www.zap.ca/webdefait/index.htm

Hypothetical Mediation Scenario

National Paralegal College.

“The following hypothetical is intended to serve as an example of a conflict which is resolved through mediation. Much of the case is over-simplified, and issues which do not directly concern us in this course are glossed over entirely in an effort to provide an easily understood illustration of mediation at work.”
